I had an issue and I wanted to download certain chats from facebook messenger to my mobile but I couldn't find any way to do this I found some apps but they were useless or outdated. so I thought if someone could make a module to automatically backup facebook messages to SD Card or Drive (any cloud in general) like WhatsApp. please if someone intersted or able to do it, it would be a great help.
Regards
this would be perfect
Peace to all

So is anyone here using both facebook contacts (with phonenumbers ofcourse) and GO Sms? I love Go SMS, in my opinion it beats ChompSMS (which has the same problem) and HandCent (Which doesnt have the problem, but it looks like crap). But the problem is that it simply cant show facebook contacts.. When composing an sms it won't show anyone who is a facebook contact and where as in the standard messaging app i can see the name and photo of a contact who sent me an sms, in Go SMS it just shows the phone number.
Is there anything that can be done or is it entirely up to the Go SMS developer? 90% of my contacts are just facebook people, i can't be arsed to manually create them all as normal contacts
Thanks,
No one can help?
Just found this thread via Google, I can't believe how much time I've wasted messing around with Google Contacts/FB Sync for this issue.
My suggestion is file a bug report on GoSMS and hope the devs can fix it. It shouldn't even be that difficult - just a specific case for handling Facebook contacts. They've demonstrated they're willing to deal with FB-specific issues as shown by their new 'import FB photo' feature.
Do let me know if you figure out a workaround? Like you, I know Handcent does it fine, but it looks like arse.

You have to have a rooted phone.
Rebuild the contact database or install a custom rom with that feature installed.
Will try to search some links for you and update the post

Hi,
I have the needs to have all instant messaging apps disabled at work. But I need data for other stuff on the android phone.
I have tried a few android firewall apps and while they all work flawlessly, there is one problem:
NONE of them can stop the (Facebook) Messenger app from receiving messages.
Anyone knows of a solution/workaround?
nobody? am I posting in the correct section? :crying:
I've seen tutorials explaining how to use mobile facebook from a web browser.
I have also seen a hack where a correctly-named dummy app makes facebook think fb messenger is already installed. I'm not sure if this works with later versions of facebook.
What I've done so far is install an old version of facebook from July 2014, then used titaniumbackup to break the market link. So that it does not come up in my update or update all lists in play store.
The problem with what I'm doing now is that the facebook app periodically restores the market link so that I am not able to forget about my facebook workaround and update my other apps normally.
I wonder if there is a better hack for a rooted android galaxy s2 that keeps facebook messages in the app but does not require any further attention.
There were also third party apps that could show the facebook newsfeed and send messages but I no longer see them in the play store. Is there an app that I could sideload that is recommended to replace the facebook app?
Any help is greatly appreciated on this.
I think the easiest is just using an old version. Facebook 1.9.12 never asks for the update. Message away to your heart's content. It's posted on another xda thread
Hello!
You can write here if you looking an app, but didn't found it.
I'm looking an app, which can upload pictures to facebook without install fb or fb messenger app.
/iLoader and the others are not working a year ago./
after months of annoying targeted ads I finally got tired of facebook and uninstalled it from my phone
installed separate browser specific for facebook on every PC so it cant share date with anything
I also installed firefox on my phone to use for facebook alone. it worked great until I uninstalled messenger
that's when I really saw how desperate facebook wants my info. im assuming all the goodies were loaded into messenger since it needed pretty much every permission available
and facebook is now like a tweaker trying to get access back to my phone by forcing me to use messenger.
it blocked access to my messages from mobile page and from desktop page as well
always redirecting me to app store
even when I disable app store it simply left blank screen when I click on messages.
this is really disturbing to me how much it wants to spy on me.
so now im trying to figure out if theres a way to access my messages without having facebook app and messenger app
I tried using tinfoil facebook but its also blocked from accessing my messages.
how can I get my messages to work again?

This isn't Facebook spying on you or targeting you specifically. It's been the case for a while now that you can't access your messages from the mobile Facebook website without having Messenger.
It does the exact same thing to me if I try, it opens Messenger. It's for everyone. The change was made some time ago now.
Put Facebook/Messenger Lite on your phone and use that. Or any of the Facebook website wrapper apps like Swipe for Facebook or Metal.
