According to the search results, Messenger Lite, which was a lightweight version of Messenger, is being shut down by Meta, the parent company of Facebook. The app has already been removed from the Google Play Store for new users and will no longer be available after September 18, 2023, for existing users. Users of the app are being directed to use Messenger or Facebook Lite instead. The decision to shut down Messenger Lite is likely due to the fact that more people are now able to use the full-functioned Messenger app to engage in digital chats. The impact of this decision is expected to be minimal, given the broader expansion of more advanced options.
