Something 'funny' about new Fb messenger version is that it steals your SMSs from your inbox automatically

Yes, you can opt out, AFTER it read your unread SMSs




While we are on the topic.

Once you install facebook messenger, it steals all your contacts information and their numbers.

It's been doing that for many years and there never was any option to prevent it.


Reality is many don't even care :(


Outside the US, many don't really use SMS ;)


I find it really unlikely that iOS would let them do that given how tightly coupled iMessage and SMS are?


I saw this behaviour on Android
