""If you're using the Messenger desktop apps, you'll get an in-app notification once the deprecation process begins," a Messenger help page reads. "You will have 60 days to use the Mac Messenger app before it is fully deprecated. Once the 60 days are over, you'll be blocked from using the Mac Messenger app. We encourage you to delete the app since it will no longer be usable.""
"Meta is encouraging users to activate secure storage and to set up a PIN to save their chat history before moving to the web version. Once users transition to Facebook.com, their chat history will be available on all platforms. Users can check if they have secure storage turned on by clicking the settings icon above their profile picture and then selecting "Privacy & safety, and then clicking "End-to-end encrypted chats.""
Meta will shut down Messenger's standalone desktop apps for Windows and Mac on December 15, blocking logins and redirecting users to Facebook.com. In-app notifications will alert users when deprecation begins and Mac users will have 60 days before the Mac app becomes unusable; users are encouraged to delete the app once deprecated. Windows users can use the Facebook desktop app and both Windows and Mac users can access Messenger online. Users are encouraged to enable secure storage and set a PIN to save chat history; secure storage settings are under Privacy & safety > End-to-end encrypted chats > Message storage. Messenger was replaced with a Progressive Web App in September 2024.
