I kept receiving notifications from an app called "Messenger" which is not accidentally also how the SMS app in stock android is named.

Facebook Messenger came out first.

It used to be called Facebook Messenger. Not sure when it changed.

Around when Microsoft gifted Facebook the @messenger twitter handle. Though I'm unsure if Microsoft also owned the messenger domain

It was sometime in the last year wasn't it? I ask because I seem to recall a kerfuffle with Messenger and the new(ish) Google SMS app also called Messenger.

I've deleted fb messenger now but this was on my app menu for a while. Very unhelpful. > https://twitter.com/KatAlexPas/status/822434870223896576
