    Hello,

     

    Yes you can block via control app, and use application override to permit messenger and block facebook:

    Hi,

     

    I blocked "Web Filter" -> "General Interest - Personal" -> "Social Networking" category and created URL Filter.

     

    messenger.com - Simple - Exempt - Enable fbcdn.net - Simple - Exempt - Enable

    Users can login in https://www.messenger.com and use FB messenger.

    How about if i want to use facebook but i want disable messenger?

    ive tried using application control by adding signatures but it didnt work.
