Facebook is Shutting Down Its Online Messenger Website
Meta will end the Messenger.com web portal, moving users to Facebook.com and mobile apps as part of a strategy to unify messaging platforms and reduce fragmentation.
- Meta announced it will shut Messenger.com after April 15, 2026, redirecting users to Facebook.com for messaging. The portal has operated since 2015.
- The company cited declining traffic and a broader shift to integrated, mobile-first platforms, framing the move as resource optimization and ecosystem consolidation.
- The web portal, launched in 2015, attracted professionals and privacy-minded users, and some Filipino users expressed sadness over losing a distraction-free way to read messages.
- Meta will provide in-app tutorials and notify users immediately via on-site banners and email alerts; chat histories, contacts, and media will migrate seamlessly while conversations remain accessible on the Messenger mobile app.
- The change reflects a broader industry trend of platforms streamlining offerings, so businesses, educational institutions and non-profits must adapt workflows or emphasize Facebook.com and Messenger mobile app.
