Here's a good security/privacy option: Provide a fully featured HTML5 app (specifically one that allows you to access the inbox). Then there is no reason to install the native app or messenger.


http://mbasic.facebook.com

Doesn't seem to work on iOS (at least on iOS 11, it redirects to the normal mobile site that asks you to install Messenger) but it works on Android.


I only use my browser to use FB. But I don't message with Messenger - I use phone's native text message feature.


I'd still like to access the Facebook Inbox when I'm on my phone and using the Facebook web page. Right now it forces you to the messenger native app.
