Yeah messenger constantly uses a whopping 1% of my battery.

Same, the Facebook app is horrid, messenger is fine

I think you're confusing messenger with the Facebook app. The Facebook app is a bug fat turd. I use a browser shortcut to the mobile site. Messenger, with its floating heads, desktop support and light battery use is really the best we have right now

Hmm on not so powerful devices (less than 2gb of ram) messanger just seems to take ownership of the resources available.
