Is their messenger still a 150 MB monster that gets updated twice a day?
Yes, and they constantly change how parts of the UI work, most often getting more in the way of efficient actual messaging... It's really bad.
They cut the size down to 30 MB on iOS in 2019, but they're back to 110 since (on Android, it's 60 MB).
EDIT: In terms of updates, they are pretty stable at one update a week on both systems.
Android 13 here, Messenger is 148mb, last update 11 days ago
I think the Facebook Lite app includes messaging too.
No... I disabled the auto updates.
