If you install this, the messaging tab in the primary Facebook app now just switches you to the Messenger app. What a weird choice.

I decided to uninstall Messenger, I like being able to chat while browsing other Facebook pages.

Just tested, this happens on iOS. Not sure about Android. I definitely agree with you.

Pressing back brings you back into the standard Facebook app.

That's extremely strange behaviour. I can't imagine that sticking around in the long term. Switching views takes milliseconds, switching apps take much longer.

In-app messaging still working as normal on my Nexus 4.
