Facebook May Be Addicted to Apps, But You Don’t Have to Be

If you were worrying that your Facebook habit has been leading you to spend too much time in one app, that social network has a simple solution: Now it’s two apps! This fission will see the chat functions of the company’s flagship title split off into a separate Messenger app. Messenger has been around for a while, but until now it’s been an option you could choose if you wanted such extras as free phone calls to other Facebook members. In unfriending the core app’s messaging features, Facebook is following the same playbook as other high-profile online services. The Messenger move was not a huge surprise, considering how many other mobile apps Facebook has shipped — that many people don’t know anything about.
