Can i uninstall messanger app and still be able to send and receive from go sme go?

[Android Central Question]

On my Moto e5 cruise, can I uninstall FB messenger app and still be able to send and receive FB messages in my go sms go app?

No, that will not work.
Go SMS Go knows only how to do SMS messaging.
Facebook is an instant messaging service that only Facebook Messenger knows how to connect to.
Facebook Messenger also knows how to connect to the SMS system.

You can have both messaging apps exist side by side. You just need to set Go as your default SMS app.
You may also need to remove the SMS privileges from FB Messenger if it does not want to play nice.

If you want to uninstall FB Messenger, you can still get to your FB messages by using a web browser and going to Facebook.com .
