website migration

The website migration tag on WindowsForum.com covers discussions about moving from native desktop applications to web-based platforms. A key example is Meta's decision to shut down its standalone Messenger desktop apps for Windows and macOS by December 2025, directing users to the Facebook and Messenger websites instead. This shift reflects broader trends in software delivery, where companies replace native clients with progressive web apps or browser-based interfaces. Topics include the technical and user experience implications of such migrations, including login changes, feature parity, and the impact on workflows. The tag is relevant for users tracking how major platforms transition from installed software to web-only access.
