Meta confirmed that it will close the independent Web version of Messenger in April of this year.

Messenger will lose its independence on the web. Starting in April, Messenger.com will disappear and automatically redirect to Facebook. A simplification for Meta, but a big change usually for users attached to their email "apart".

After disconnecting the desktop application (Windows and MacOS) last December, Meta will delete Messenger.com on April 15th. From that date, plus the choice, to continue to chat (on a computer) you will have to go... on Facebook.
