Unable to use Facebook Messenger as SMS app



Hey guys, I'm not sure if this is the correct place to post this, but I literally cannot find anything on this. I've been looking for a better texting app ever since I realized that my favorite SMS app Google Messenger horribly compresses all of my MMS files and there is no way of changing that. At first I though it was my phone (HTC M8) since before I did not have this issue, but I've upgraded it to the HTC 10 and it does the same thing. I've been using Chomp because its somewhat the best overall app I've found. I tried Textra, but every now and then it fails to send/receive messages for around 3 minutes, and when it finally does send my message, it'll just flood me with all the messages I should've been receiving during that time all at once. I tried Yaata as well but I was having issues with the group SMS feature on it. I recently found out that the Facebook Messenger app has re-integrated the SMS feature on it, but for some odd reason, I cannot get the setting to pop up on my phone. I'm fully updated, no root/exposed, I've tried reinstalling the FB Messenger app, I even installed the native Facebook app to see if it was that it needed to sync with my account or something, but nothing has worked. There is still no option for me to use Facebook Messenger as a default SMS app on the settings, or even send texts through. Has anyone ever encountered this issue?
