Pardon my French. I'm looking for a FB Messenger compatible app with less permissions.

This is a very bad idea. Look at the catastrophe that happened when people used 3rd-party Snapchat clients.

If you can find an open-source Messenger cloent, then great. Otherwise your only safe choice is Messenger.
