> Facebook Messenger downloads these libraries dynamically as opposed to including them in the APK, so it is difficult to identify the version I examined, but it was downloaded on June 22, 2020.

This right here, is something that scares me. I wonder if this would fly on Apple's AppStore for example. Because there's virtually no way to attest to the application's binaries (for example for forensic purposes), and it can easily be used to backdoor the app on the fly.
