Revision history [back]

According to https://developers.facebook.com/docs/chat, the chat API (ie. Facebook's XMPP support) is deprecated and will stop working once API v1.0 is retired. According to https://developers.facebook.com/docs/apps/changelog, this is set to happen on 2015-04-30, so only a handful of months from now.

Are there any plans for the built-in Facebook chat support for when this happens? (Assuming I'm not crazy thinking it's currently using XMPP). It does appear that there are alternate methods now available to read messages (see for example https://developers.facebook.com/docs/graph-api/reference/v2.2/user/inbox) but I'll admit I have no idea whether those methods are viable for an IM client or how much work they'd be to implement.
