You're right; I was referring to another application.
It helped me immensely until I decided to delete my account.
Is there any way to get either of those apps to push notifications just for messages? There's probably a Facebook account setting that does that, but I'd still like to see the rest of my notifications when I go to the site. Just don't want them pushed to my phone besides messenger.
Edit: this seems to do the job on Android https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=hoahong.facebook.messenger&hl=en
Download ~~Facebook Lite~~ Lite For Facebook (not made by Facebook.) It allows you to access Facebook and message people. Ditch Messenger. It's also tracking you.
(I deleted my Facebook account too, btw. Just keep it until you graduate.)
Yeah I checked everything. All the settings said it should work. I even set the app as priority notifications to see if that would make a difference but it never did. It struck me as quite bizarre. Like a bug in the app or something.
Edit: I've since found Lite Messenger for Facebook and absolutely love it. No need for Messenger or Pages for my business page. It does everything in one app and it's super easy to navigate compared to FBs stock app. It's deceptive that the name says Messenger in it because it really is an all around FB app.
Yo uso messgener lite para facebook.
Es super limitado y tiene hartas weas moletas, pero lo uso solo para meterme al marketplace y ver eventos. Con la plata que he ganado con las encuestas de google pague por la version full.
I'm really enjoying this one specifically because I can still share pics, gifs and videos directly as messages just as I did with messenger, you can also enable night mode and set the app to open on messages (or your feed) by default, it's a very well thought out app and probably the most versatile and complete alternative I've used
Facebook and Messenger will drain your battery. There are plenty of Alternative FB/Messenger apps that do a decent job without the battery drain. https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=hoahong.facebook.messenger
This is the one I use and I am pretty happy with it. Snapchat is also pretty bad. Unfortunately there are no alternatives for it. Hope that helps.
Delete Facebook and messenger and try alternative clients. These are the most popular ones I found. Facebook is a huge hog.

Oh nice! Good know I'll try it myself. That's all I use Messenger for also I don't like all the extra crap that's in my face.
Esit: Is this the one I guess? https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=hoahong.facebook.messenger
Just a follow up:
Lite refuses to load on my phone. I've been using another app which seems to work, but the problem with it is it only receives messages on a refresh interval.

You could try this app instead. It's been working well for me
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=hoahong.facebook.messenger is s better interface for FB than Facebook. Quite configurable.
Facebook Lite This is a wrapper for the facebook app, it gets annoying, but I like it better than the native app because of the battery drain.

It's a good medium between the lightness of website, and the nice interface of the app.
