Facebook Messenger 2.5GB Data Usage

[PeteRoy]

Hi,

Galaxy Note 3, Facebook Messenger Data Usuage reached 2.5GB which filled all the 2GB cellular data plan in just few days in beginning of month.

How did this happen? How can Facebook Messenger use so much data? There were no video calls or audio calls.

Thanks

Common issue.

Uninstall it or restrict its background data use.

What he said. This app is buggy beyond control and would trip my wakelock instantaneously.

But do you know how this happens? Is it a bug?

It is a useless app that facebook forced on people by removing the functionality from the facebook app and it is full of bugs.

I have unlimited data so that bug didn't get me, but the program is a mess. Drained my battery and ate huge amounts of data at the same time.
