Ask HN: What Is Happening to Messenger.com?

In ~February 2026 Facebook announced that messenger.com would not be available starting in April.

> Starting April 2026, messenger.com will no longer be available for messaging. The Messenger desktop app is also no longer available. You can use facebook.com/messages to continue messaging on web.

This was quite annoying because many of my people disable their Facebook accounts but continue to use Messenger and not being able to use it on the PC is quite silly.

It's July 2026 and messenger.com is still here though. I can't find any articles or news about it. Any folks at Facebook know what is happening to messenger.com?
