TLDR
Messenger’s onboarding is a great case study of manipulative design. To install Messenger without enabling notifications, giving Facebook your phone number, or giving Facebook access to your contacts, you have to refuse 6 times via deliberately inconspicuous links. Facebook gives a few reasons: ‘Reset your password easily.’ Not a great reason. Facebook has my email address, after all, so I can always reset via email’ The best way to say ‘no’ is ‘Remind me later though I don’t want to be reminded later, I’m not sure how giving my phone number will enable that.via the TL;DR App
