Cause of death: the autopsy

The best of the nine at 13/25: "coexistence" (one number on both the free app and the API) reached Nigeria in April 2026. But messaging providers already offer it as a standard feature, one from $12.49 a month, with free setup guides, and the free app already allows 4 linked devices. A shared inbox on the free app without the API needs unofficial automation that breaks Meta's terms and gets numbers banned.

The numbers

None. It was never built, so there are no visitors, sales or ad spend to count. It died on paper, which is the cheapest place to die.

Could rise again if

Meta limits the free app's devices to paid tiers or drops coexistence for Nigeria.
