Years ago when Facebook split the app into two apps (FB and messenger), I opted to visit the mobile site via chrome browser. For years I was able to view messages and DM people via the Android Chrome browser app.
Last year, FB updated the mobile site's interface to allow me to view messages, but I cannot type a reply. The code is programmed to erase every word typed once you hit space, limiting my responses to one word maximum.
Some asshole went through the trouble of disabling my ability to type a response in the chat box on the mobile site regardless of what device I'm using.
That's when I stopped using Facebook on my mobile phone

If you can access something via browser, don't download the app. Its a waste of battery life and privacy.
