From TFA: "We reduced core Messenger code by 84 percent, from more than 1.7M lines to 360,000."
Sounds like not only did they make the app quicker and lighter, they improved code maintenance too. If the android app is as the same size as the new ios messenger app, they'd still have less code to maintain than the previous ios messenger app.
