Facebook is a way to stay in touch with friends and family. It has almost all the features one needs. But, a few years back, it separated its messaging features from its main mobile app. One must have the Facebook messenger app installed to check messages. But not everyone is keen on using the Facebook messenger app. Some are still determined not to install the app.
Facebook is splitting the messenger feature into a separate app for several reasons. First, apps are operated differently from the web version. Hence, it requires a different strategy. The strategy behind the splitting is to dominate one's attention on their smartphone.
Despite splitting its messenger feature into a separate app, Facebook has also made it possible to check messages without the messenger app. Users can now view their messages from the flagship Facebook app, website, Instagram, or third-party apps (parental control app), like the AirDroid notification syncing app.
The first method to check Facebook messages without messenger is from your browser. Your browser is essential to access the Facebook or messenger website. Regardless of the browser you are using, be it chrome, Firefox, Safari, Bing, etc., the steps/processes are the same.
Another way to check Facebook messages without messenger from the browser is via the messenger website. The desktop site is message-only. Although the link will direct you to install the messenger app, you can bypass it by requesting a desktop site on your browser settings.
The Facebook messenger app and the Instagram app are owned by the same person. Hence, it allows cross-platform communication. Messages from the messenger app can now be seen on Instagram and vice versa. To read Facebook messages using Instagram;
A "face book" is a student directory featuring photos and basic information.[9] In 2003, there were no universal online facebooks at Harvard, with only paper sheets distributed[10] and private online directories.[11][12] Zuckerberg told the Crimson that "Everyone's been talking a lot about a universal face book within Harvard. ... I think it's kind of silly that it would take the University a couple of years to get around to it. I can do it better than they can, and I can do it in a week."[12] In January 2004, Zuckerberg began writing code for a new website, known as "TheFacebook", with the inspiration coming from an editorial in the Crimson about Facemash, stating that "It is clear that the technology needed to create a centralized Website is readily available ... the benefits are many." Zuckerberg met with Harvard student Eduardo Saverin, and each of them agreed to invest $1,000 in the site.[13] On February 4, 2004, Zuckerberg launched it under the name of "TheFacebook", originally located at thefacebook.com.[14]
The company dropped 'The' from its name after purchasing the domain name facebook.com in 2005 for $200,000.[23] The following year, the platform was made available for high school students, and in 2006, it became accessible to the general public.
On March 12, 2012, Yahoo! filed suit in a U.S. federal court against Facebook weeks before the scheduled Facebook initial public offering. In its court filing, Yahoo! said that Facebook had infringed on ten of its patents covering advertising, privacy controls and social networking. Yahoo! had threatened to sue Facebook a month before the filing, insisting that the social network license its patents. A spokesperson for Facebook issued a statement saying "We're disappointed that Yahoo, a long-time business partner of Facebook and a company that has substantially benefited from its association with Facebook, has decided to resort to litigation".[52] The lawsuit claims that Yahoo!'s patents cover basic social networking ideas such as customizing website users' experiences to their needs, adding that the patents cover ways of targeting ads to individual users.[53] In 2012, Facebook App Center, an online mobile store, was rolled out. The store initially had 500 Facebook apps which were mostly games.[54]
When using messenger from Facebook on my phone, does this mean everything I have put on my computer will be on my phone!? Or is Facebook just there to use just messenger and does not have all the other stuff on my phone!?

Banks proactively monitor the accounts in their financial institutions and will typically identify fraudulent activity within one or two suspicious transactions. When they do, they lock down your bank account(s) or block your mobile phone(s) so you cannot do any online banking. This is to protect both you and the financial institution from fraudulent activity.
