Facebook removing messaging from main mobile apps

4.1
Facebook has revealed that it is opting to completely remove the messaging portion from their main mobile applications. What this means for users is being forced into using two separate applications to actually use Facebook in a meaningful manner. At the moment our sources only indicate that iOS and Android users are slated to receive these changes while both Windows Phone and tablet users will continue to enjoy messaging in the base Facebook application.
