Facebook integration in messaging

[NJ1193]

I'm new to Windows phone. Just got a 1520 - awesome device. Upgraded to 8.1 today and I noticed something - Facebook messaging no longer shows up in messaging along with SMS messages. Is this a problem unique to 8.1? I also noticed my Facebook account doesn't show up under accounts in settings.

Any ideas?

Thanks!

This is not a problem. This is by design. This was done to allow changes to the social network features to be incorporated easily into the OS at any time without having to update the whole OS.
Everything is more modular. You have to install the facebook app to make the account visible. You can still see What's new but can't post using the me tile or reply using the inbuilt messaging.
