 | The content of Facebook Messenger Rooms was merged into Facebook Messenger on 20 August 2021. The former page's history now serves to provide attribution for that content in the latter page, and it must not be deleted as long as the latter page exists. For the discussion at that location, see its talk page. |

Facebook Messenger → Messenger (messaging service) – This is the official name of the service. Since the rebrand of Facebook to Meta, that name has stuck. Interstellarity (talk) 00:46, 2 March 2026 (UTC)
- Oppose move. "Facebook Messenger" is the obvious WP:COMMONNAME as decided last year. O.N.R. (talk) 13:19, 2 March 2026 (UTC)
- Oppose. Not as recognizable as the current title and unlikely to be the common name. The proposed title is also ambiguous. WhatsApp Messenger is also owned by Meta, and this article also needs to be distinguished from LAN messenger, BlackBerry Messenger, Yahoo Messenger, MSN Messenger, etc. Arguably even bike messengers are "messaging services".

- Easy oppose - Per Dekimasu and the proposed title only introduces ambiguity. Accuracy in terms of what something is called is secondary to the ease of access of an article/identification of a subject. signed, Kvinnen (talk) 22:10, 3 March 2026 (UTC)
- Oppose per others. Thanks, Glasspalace (talk • contribs) 07:51, 5 March 2026 (UTC)
- Oppose per O.N.R. and Dekimasu, and also per WP:NATDAB. Arnav Bhate (talk • contribs) 11:22, 7 March 2026 (UTC)
