Does anyone else communicate with EVERYBODY on Facebook Messenger?

My parents, my coworkers, my girlfriend, even my drug dealer - I don't really have anyone's phone number. And I don't think I'm unique in that way.

I don't have the Facebook app on my phone, for around 2 years now I haven't posted or viewed my feed.

I do concede I'm still addicted to other aspects of my phone, it's just Facebook that I always found especially distasteful.

However I consider Messenger as an unavoidable necessity for my generation.
