I have not found any news article on this on a whim. Because my friends and family, I need to use Facebook Messenger, and Messenger Lite was a OK client - lightweight, no unnecessary features, etc., compared to the regular Messenger app.

Now I'm a little torn, having a Meta app on my phone is already bad, but having to downgrade to the bloated Messenger app? Not sure I will make a change. What are your thoughts?

If you're technically savvy, it looks like you could self-host the application. https://github.com/beeper/self-host

This is what I did, took a bit to get it configured but works great once your up and running.

How long have you been running it so far? Any issues?

A few months for the Facebook and Instagram bridges and I just setup the Google messages Bridge last week.
