Meta discontinues Facebook Groups API: A blow for companies and developers. Most recently, Meta also discontinued Facebook Messenger Lite.
The API allowed developers and marketers to schedule and automate posts in Facebook groups. The exact reasons for Meta's decision are not completely transparent. Speculation ranges from the lack of advertising revenue generation through Facebook groups to strategic realignments of the company. It could indicate that Meta is placing greater focus on other forms of interaction, such as groups and events that allow users to find like-minded people.
