In the current update we are not able to see all the people who are online. Only limited and favourites people is shown. So it would be better to bring back the feature of seeing list of online people.
Feedbacks

U should change back the old one as when we are in call we don’t know other is also in call or not cause when we call to them it goes ringing not like before where it shows other person is in call or sth like that and the active status whenever I check my wife status it shows active 8 hours ago though we had texted 2 or 3 mins ago it glitches many times creating misunderstanding to lots of other problem I just don’t want these type of problem I tried deleting n dislodging again the problem still arises and think about the call feedbacks I personally thinks it’s great u let us know that other person in call when we call to other or our fav person so that I won’t give us problem later on in fact in a relationship where it creates problems in trusting I bet other people feels the same things
Improvements

I like how messenger keeps people connected and close and makes our life a lot easier but I wish the active button could come back. Sometimes although we are online, we would prefer not being seen by people that we are online.
Please bring back the active status
