[APP][2.3+] Facebook Chat Re-Enabler

Notice: Starting from Facebook v28 this app doesn't work anymore! Please rollback to v27 if you don't want to install the naughty Messenger, until I don't find a solution 

Rollback to Facebook v27 how-to:

For who already has a Facebook version before v28 just install Facebook Chat Re-Enabler

Hello guys. As most of you know, chat in Facebook app doesn't work anymore and now you need to install Messenger app. At the moment is not the same for all the countries, as far as I know they are slowly migrating chat from app to Messenger only.

I made this simple app to enable chat again in main Facebook app without installing Messenger.

Root is not needed and works between Android 2.3 and 5.1, on any device that supports Facebook app.

Disadvantages of Facebook+Messenger installed at same time: HUGE battery drain and RAM consumption, device may slow down etc. (especially low-end devices)

Advantages of Facebook Chat Enabler: It's only an enabler and is never executed by the system, meaning no battery drain/RAM consumption/resource eating at all. (Facebook app itself drains battery)

If you have Messenger installed, uninstall it before installing my apk. After installation you don't need to do anything else, no icon is showed in menu and chat will magically work!

Confirmed working on following Facebook versions:
  • Any 27.x.x.x.x
  • Any 26.x.x.x.x
  • Any 25.x.x.x.x
  • Any 24.x.x.x.x
  • Any 23.x.x.x.x
  • Any 22.x.x.x.x
  • Any 21.x.x.x.x
  • Any 20.x.x.x.x+any version before
New updates in future may break this (and to use again Chat Enabler you'll have to install last confirmed working version)

Download new version (26.9KB size + new app name & icon!): https://www.androidfilehost.com/?w=files&flid=21048

Old version: https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=95784891001608389, http://d-h.st/RrHX


For devices that have Messenger out of the box, without possibility to uninstall it:

A - root required
  1. Install Root Browser
  2. Navigate to preload (might be here in case of Samsung device) or system/app and search for apk file with Messenger icon
  3. Long press on it and choose "delete", give superuser permission
  4. Download my apk and install it
