How do I uninstall the old FB Messenger after I installed the new Messenger v.97 for Macbook Pro?

I installed the new FB Messenger v.97 but it didn't delete my old FB Messenger. Now I have 2 FB Messenger apps. I'd like to only keep one. I don't know how to delete the older one and then have it put with the 4 apps that open under My New Tabs on chrome. Any information on FB Messenger would be helpful. Should I just delete the new one or should I delete the old one. The new one is under apps on my Macbook Pro but the old one isn't listed separately or on apps at all. Why do I have 2 now?:

Any mac help would be appreciated.


MacBook Pro 17″, macOS 10.13

The only thing is to uninstall my Mac Messages App it wants me to uninstall Facebook completely. Do you think I can do that? Will I be able to get my FB page back? Any info will help me, I'm not sure if I should do this or not. I'm sure the FB App is on Apple but I installed FB so long ago as new and I have no idea how to reinstall or if I should even delete it. What's you opinion if you are able to reply. Have a Great WEDNESDAY, MY BDAqua. You sound like a good Men's cologne 💎 😊😂

Lucky you, It's so addicting and really changed. I've been on it for 11 yrs. now. Everyone now is using TicTok, Instagram, etc. all the young people. FB is for the older generation now. LOL However it was good in the beginning, now it's so commercialized since Zuckerberg sold a lot of his stock. You know how that goes.

Thanks again
