As early as September 28, 2023, SMS messages will no longer be available when you update your Messenger app.
Was anybody actually using this? I honestly forgot this was a supported feature. This is coming from someone who is still not happy about Signal dropping SMS support.

I never knew someone who used FB Messenger for SMS
I did for a bit many years ago for the chat heads support. IIRC I ended up switching to Textra, which also had chat heads before deciding I didn't care for the feature enough when I moved to QKSMS.
I loved Textra. It's not their fault, but I really love RCS support, and right now that's basically Google Messages and a handful of preinstalled carrier messenger apps (if I'm not mistaken). I loved adding a 3 second delay on sending texts - I always seem to see typos as/after I hit send. 😂
I used to love QKSMS! I use the stock app on my Pixel these days, but back in the day QK was my go-to. Moez is a great dev.
Google Messages has chat bubble support, for what it's worth.
Upvoted but I've since grown out of this feature. I now also like delaying message alerts for the sake of digital hygiene!
On android the app used to beg you to make it the default SMS app all the time, so lots of people probably use it without really trying to.
I did for a bit because the chat heads are nice. Eventually switched to google's message app because I like being able to view and respond to texts from my desktop.
Mine and wife's new s23ultras won't send pics to each other and I think this was her work around.
It took me years to get my dad to stop texting me with FB messager. I had to blatantly ignore his messages until he sent me a sms message.
