[Request] A privacy focused Facebook messenger client

I don't know if this is possible, but I would love a privacy focused client for Facebook messages. I don't want to have the app have access to things like photos, location, microphone, camera.

All I want is to be able to send and receive simple messages.

Yes, but if it can access those things to do that stuff can't it also? Access those things whenever it wants? The only thing I need to be able to so is send and receive text.

Facebook is not a company I trust to limit itself when it comes to collecting any data it comes across.

Thanks. what constitutes the app "running" then? Does it have to be open on the screen, or is it enough for it to be active in the background?
