    "Facebook Messenger has a huge memory leak"

    April 7, 2012  |   By Maxim_Moneta

    Pros

    It is useful due to popups and notifications with no 3rd party software needed. So, target of Facebook seems to be achieved.

    Cons

    During my testing period, there were no significant updates and I have discovered a huge memory leak in Facebook Messenger. I don't think this kind of app as Facebook Messenger should use that much RAM, this time it's even more then my Aptana Development Studio with all the IDE and quite huge active projects in it.

    Summary

    Shame on Facebook.
    I advise to do not try this app at all, at least closest several month. Epic fail by Facebook.
