Facebook Messenger is the latest app to depart Windows Phones as the platform continues to struggle in a market dominated by Apple and Android devices. Users of the app received an advisory email informing them the app would stop supporting their devices at the end of March, meaning they will no longer be able to send and receive messages. The Messenger team said in a blog post: The Microsoft Lumia 640, 640 XL and the Lumia 535 are among the devices affected by the app’s leave. The withdrawal comes a month after Skype pulled the plug on its app for older versions of Windows. Microsoft’s latest move also applies to Facebook for Windows Phone, Messenger for Windows Phone 8 and 8.1, and Facebook for Windows 8 and 8.1 desktop app. We will be ending support for messaging in some older mobile app versions of Messenger and Facebook. We have proactively reached out to those affected and have also offered suggestions right in Messenger. These include updating your app to the latest version, loading an OS update for your device or migrating to Facebook Lite. If your devices do not support the newest versions of Facebook, we recommend going to Facebook.com through your mobile browser.
