I guess you just goto: https://www.facebook.com/messages/

Not much difference.

Does that work on mobile? It always prompts me to install Messenger.

My workaround here is/was:

- Install browser that lets you run plugins

- Change user-agent to a desktop browser - any will do

- (optional) run social fixer while you're at it

I completely understand that iOS probably won't let you do this. I've been doing this on Android and Firefox, and the web experience on a phone is... functional. Since it thinks its a desktop, the page layout doesn't always gracefully fit into a portrait form-factor. Landscape mode helps in those cases.

Yeah, my workaround is just going to the desktop version of Facebook when I absolutely must use it on my phone (usually marketplace-related.)

they deny you access until you give them access...

fsck them! i blocked my fb account and not looking back. once it was a place to find and discuss with interesting people... but now it's just a cesspool of filtered irrelevance and propaganda.

Mark Zuckerberg is a vile sociopath, I think the historical evidence long supports it
