    Are you able to keep existing conversations if you choose the second option? (Create new messenger account sounds like you’ll have to re-add all your contacts and group messages)

    Edit : nevermind I have my answer, too bad they don’t offer a way to transfer conversations, it would be easier for everyone to abandon their Facebook account :

      because that’s exactly what facebook would like to do: to make it “easier for everyone to abandon their Facebook account” 🤦

      I kind of find this to be a good thing. Clean up in the conversations and restart the good ones. I don’t mind losing chat history. It was practically not even searchable anywaybso nonuse for it as I see it
