Facebook Messenger hasn't been updated for Apple Silicon as far as i can tell, and it's an atrocious resource hog and works like garbage. iOS Messenger on the other hand uses 0 CPU and 78MB of RAM (compared to couple of hundred for desktop version).
Flume Pro is also pretty much defunct and never worked properly, Instagram iOS on the other hand works flawlessly.

Both needed to be installed via iMazing tho. Don't know why they don't approve them officially.

Thanks for the heads up, just installed the IOS version, very low resource hog.

Ony thing I am annoyed about most of iOS apps is that fonts are scaled too small on M1 screen, but nevertheless I am using them.

You can also use SSB apps like Unite 4 on M1 Macs to create full screen browser apps (eg. Gmail, Whatsapp, LinkedIn etc)...
