Now you can message people in your phone book

Doesn't this mean FB will be hacking your phone book? Nice backdoor...

When you launch the updated Messenger app on iOS, it asks for permission to use your contacts. The alert message was sufficiently creepy that I didn't give it permission to "sync contacts" with Facebook.
