Facebook Messenger Discontinuation

As announced in Facebook blog, they said:

With over 1B people using Messenger every month, our team spends countless hours making it the best way to message your friends and family. One of the ways we continue to improve is by consistently introducing
rich features, like voice and video calling, games, and bots for Messenger. Using older versions of apps means that experiences won’t work well or sometimes not at all. As a result, we are asking people who are using older versions to upgrade so they can enjoy
more of the delightful features of Messenger.

We will be ending support for messaging in some older mobile app versions of Messenger and Facebook. We have proactively reached out to those affected and have also offered suggestions right in Messenger. These
include updating your app to the latest version, loading an OS update for your device or migrating to Facebook Lite. If your devices do not support the newest versions of Facebook, we recommend going to Facebook.com through your mobile browser.

By the end of March, we will be ending support for messaging on the following older mobile app versions:

• Android
  • Facebook for Android v55, released on November 16, 2015, and below.
  • Messenger v10, released on August 14, 2014, and below.
• iOS
  • Facebook for iPad v26, released on October 10, 2011, and below.
  • Messenger v8, released on July 14, 2014, and below.
  • Facebook for iOS, released on October 10, 2011, and below.
• Windows
  • Facebook for Windows Phone.
  • Messenger for Windows Phone 8 and 8.1.
  • Facebook for Windows 8 and 8.1 desktop app.

 

View Facebook Messenger (iOS) contacts as Online on Message Hub

Hi,



When using Facebook Chat in Messages Hub, the contacts that are using Facebook Chat in iOS or Android don't show up on the "Online" list. How can I fix that? Is very annoying when you can only see and talk with people that are online on their desktop. Most
of my contacts use Facebook Messenger on iOS and Android.

 

Why don't people using iOS Facebook Messenger appear online in WP7 Facebook chat?

I have tested this issue with my friends who uses iOS Facebook Messenger on their phone. As long as they are logged out of Facebook on their computer, they appear offline in my WP7 messaging list even if they are online on Facebook Messenger.

I am using Samsung Omnia 7 with Mango, if it helps.
