#messenger leaves apple watch

Meta has revealed that Facebook Messenger will no longer be available as an app on the Apple Watch by May 31, 2023. Users have spotted the alert stating "Changes to Messenger on Apple Watch" which detailed that Messenger won't be available as an Apple Watch app. However, it also stated that users can still and will only receive Messenger notifications on their Apple Watch. But for whatever reason it may be, it is sad to see Facebook Messenger no longer available on the Apple Watch since it was a key feature for a lot of users to reply to messages, send voice clips, stickers, and more when their phone wasn't readily available. Telegram has released a fully native Apple Watch app, bringing messaging and media features directly to watchOS users. People can send and receive text and voice notes, view GIFs and videos, share their location, and mess around with stickers right from their Apple Watch. This release is basically Telegram coming back to watchOS more than a decade after it first tried Apple Watch support in 2015, then later dropped the app. Moreover, the company also revealed that both iPhone 12 and iPhone 12 mini in Purple ship with the latest iOS 14.5, which features the ability to unlock iPhone with Apple Watch while wearing a face mask, an enhanced Apple Podcasts app with a redesigned show and episode pages, and a Search tab, as well as new emoji.
