Agreed, it would have been nice to have Facebook chat integrated iinot the
Messages app, but it’s just as easy to go to Facebook through the browser once
another app is involved anyways. The FB mobile view is simple enough, and using
the iPhone FB Messenger app you get instant alerts, so all in all I’m letting
it go too. It was a fun challenge while it lasted, back to work.

Ian,
Thanks for this. I think I will just let it go. I really don't do any thing
with face book more than every 2.5 light years, just another time waster!
Hope it works out well for you my friend.

I downloaded an app from the Mac App Store called Messenger for Facebook
Chat. It was the first one in the list when I searched for Facebook chat. It
seems pretty accessible, standard lists and tables etc. The downside is one
more app to have open, although you don’t need to go to the Facebook site
just to send a message.

I was working on setting up a Jabber connection too, I put it out to my FB
feed, and at least one person says their connection is still functioning.
According to my reading, they added support for Jabber/XMP in 2010, and
cut the connection in April or May of 2015. Some people reported it
working up until December 2015, most people who put it on the Apple
support community indicated it happened when they upgraded, I assume to El
Capitan. No clue why that would matter if it was Facebook shutting it down
from their end, but go figure.
A bunch of the other messaging clients seem to use a Jabber/XMPP
connection, so I’m not sure the results will be any better. There are a
few in the Mac App Store, I’m goign to try a couple out and report back.
Of course the seamless integration of all your chatting in one place will
be lost.

At least until not too long ago Facebook had a Jabber service and it
worked just fine with messages on OS X. I haven't used it in a while
though, but I will try later and let you know. If not the Facebook
messenger app for iOS is perfectly accessible, and it seems like
Facebook might be developing an application for the Mac as well.

Hi guys,
I am finding the same thing here. If any one finds a program that will
work please let me know. I don't use it often but trying to do
messaging on facebook really is well you know.
Thanks.

Did a little further reading, looks like Facebook shut down this
function sometime last Summer. Some people who had been using it
previously report it was still working as of June, I’ll let you know
if I find anything about recent developments.

HI Jeff,
I don’t think there is a work around for this issue, I hope however
that i am wrong.

Hello:
I had a 2009 vintage MB pro that died last week. I have purchased
the MB Air 11inch.
I am trying to get everything restored, but was having problems with
facebook chat in messages before the change.
Can someone please tell me the process to get facebook chat back
into messages app?
Thanks!
