After this month is over, Meta is pulling the Facebook Messenger app from the Apple Watch. Starting on June 1st, Apple Watch users will no longer be able to send or receive messages using the app. The news got out after some users of the wearable spotted a notification on the Apple Watch Messenger app titled “Changes to Messenger on Apple Watch.” The notification said, “After May 31st, Messenger won’t be available as an Apple Watch app, but you can still get Messenger notifications on your watch.”

If you use the Facebook Messenger app on your Apple Watch, you have less than three weeks left to enjoy using it unless Meta has a change of heart. Since its decision to eliminate the Apple Watch app might have to do with money, don’t hold your breath hoping for Meta to reverse its decision.
