Facebook Messenger Requests PIN Number

Not that computer savy. I have updated the Facebook Messenger app in my phone now it is requesting a PIN number .
I am unable to read any messages on my phone unless I create a PIN number Why has this app changed?

    Because security is important. You must have a device that doesn't use FaceID or some other form of unlocking, and needs a pin.

    More apps are doing it. Even AusPost has an option.

      Nope, still asks for pin on iphone.

      • Well that is crap development from Meta.

        I don't have Facebook so I wouldn't know.

    would have taken less time to google why they are implementing pin numbers?
    part of their 'end to end' encrypted security "theatre"/changes

      Why Google when OzBargain provides some lovely answers and responses? Especially from @jv

    Ditch Facebook and just use OzBargain. If your friends aren't on OzBargain they aren't worth knowing.
