Install Old MS Messenger app on Win10M? Solved

Is there a way to install old MS Messenger on to Win 10 Mobile? As many of you probably noticed, the new app made directly by FB is slow, crashes often and has high battery usage. So I was wondering if I could install the old one (WP8.1) version of Messenger on my Lumia 650 ??

    Microsoft officially ended support for Messenger and the Windows Phone app ecosystem. The old Messenger app was designed for Windows Phone 8.1 and earlier, and it’s not available on the Windows 10 Mobile Store.

    If you haven't already, try the latest Skype app, which Microsoft actively supports. It might be more stable and optimized than third-party or older Messenger versions.
