I'm telling you breh, this whole "app" shyt is just a phase. The only thing apps handle that browsers can't (YET) is notifications.
The browsers are the most important things on these damn devices.
There is an ongoing debate between apps and responsive and I am clearly on the responsive side of the argument. It just makes so much more sense than an "app"
Browsers will get notifications at some point. I think safari already has it for desktop
explain?

Change the state of network connectivity – This means that Facebook can change or alter your connection to the Internet or cell service. You’re basically giving Facebook the ability to turn features on your phone on and off for it’s own reasons without telling you.
Call phone numbers and send SMS messages – This means that if Facebook wants to…it can send text messages to your contacts on your behalf. Do you see the trouble in this? Who is Facebook to be able to access and send messages on your phone? You’re basically giving a stranger your phone and telling them to do what they want when they want!
Record audio, and take pictures and videos, at any time – Read that line again….RECORD audio…TAKE pictures….AT ANY TIME!! That means that the folks at Facebook can see through your lens on your phone whenever they want..they can listen to what you’re saying via your microphone if they choose to!!
Read your phone’s call log, including info about incoming and outgoing calls – Who have you been calling? How long did you talk to them? Now Facebook will know all of this because you’ve downloaded the new Facebook messenger app.
Read your contact data, including who you call and email and how often – Another clear violation of your privacy. Now Facebook will be able to read e-mails you’ve sent and take information from them to use for their own gain. Whether it’s for “personalized advertisements” or if it’s for “research purposes” ….whatever the reason..they’re accessing your private encounters.
Read personal profile information stored on your device – This means that if you have addresses, personal info, pictures or anything else that’s near and dear to your personal life…they can read it.
Get a list of accounts known by the phone, or other apps you use – Facebook will now have a tally of all the apps you use, how often you use them and what information you keep or exchange on those apps.

Yeah that list of reasons is horseshyt too. Almost all social media apps use that same list of permissions.
I have drawn up plans at how these things should work.
LOL @ "apps" outside of games and things that need the horsepower.
I'll check safari again...that is probably my least favorite browser though

That's unrealistic, we'll be dead before phones could do such a thing

i hated at first but its actually pretty nice. People just stuck on the fact that its a separate app but it really doesnt change the convenience at all. The messages area is still in the original facebook app...u just get the pop up when u click it to message.
