If (like me) you still have family members using Facebook Messenger but don't feel safe running an app from Meta on your phone, there is a little-advertised mobile website that you can bookmark:
https://mbasic.facebook.com/messages/
Meta maintains this site for low-spec devices, so it uses minimal bandwidth, graphics, and Javascript, and has few (no?) ads. It also works for your main FB timeline.
