Facebook no longer in email+accounts?

[WPCentral Question]

Heya--

I'm wanting to hook my facebook back up in email+accounts so I can chat via the text rather than Facebook Messenger.. But there doesn't appear to be any choice for Facebook in the email+account settings anymore (I thought there used to be).. Am I missing something here? Or did Facebook drop that?

Thanks!

If you are running wp8.1 it is no longer standard. Ms took it out and made it available via the apps. So if they update and take advantage of the feature it will work again. They did this so the wouldn't have to update the app every time facebook, twiiter updated. And now any social sire can theoretically do this once the put the code into the app.

However if your using windows 8.0 you can do that. Just go to messages, settings and turn on Facebook chat
