Every app that Facebook develops is renowned for being packed with a plethora of features, but is this really a good thing? Take the Facebook Messenger app for example. Even though this app is supposed to make it easier for people to get in touch with their friends and family members, it’s UI is filled with so many features that people often have a difficult time finding the option they are actually looking for.

On the bright side of things, Facebook recently did a study and it found out that people value simplicity over everything. To Facebook’s surprise, people only want to communicate and they think that the Messenger app has more features than it needs.
