Facebook Will Remove Clutter From Messenger This Year
The mobile community has a love/hate relationship with Facebook Messenger.
"Over the last two years, we built a lot of capabilities to find the features that continue to set us apart", Marcus wrote. In a new blog post today, Facebook's David Marcus looks at what's ahead for Messenger in 2018, and one of the six things he highlights is a new focus on simplicity. A lot of them have found their product market fit; some haven't.
Facebook's plans for Messenger in the coming year are detailed in a new post by Messenger chief David Marcus. Between in-chat games, bots for Spotify and Uber, a Snapchat-like stories feature, and way more than we have time to get into, it's quickly become bloated and filled to the brim with feature after feature that gets in the way of basic conversations. It used to be a part of the regular Facebook application, but in 2014 was split off into a separate app.
What that means for the end user is now up in the air.

Facebook isn't saying exactly what is being changed, or if any of the features that resulted in the clutter will get removed, so don't get your hopes up yet.
Facebook in part recognized the problem by previous year creating an Android-only Messenger Lite app aimed at those in developing countries with limited data, but later rolled it out to the USA and elsewhere as it proved popular as a way of cutting out the crud.
For Facebook, just launching a lighter version of the main app isn't the ideal solution. The company hasn't said what parts of Messenger it views as clutter and precisely how it's going to streamline those parts to provide an improved user experience.
