Q: Facebook Messenger App Crash Apple Watch

I recently bought an Apple Watch and installed WatchOS2. The only problem is that once I click on the Facebook Messenger app, it loads for ages and then it closes. Does anyone have this problem? If so, does anyone know how I can fix it?

This is what happens before it shuts down.

Apple Watch, watchOS 2

I have the same! But it's also with all the apps that have Complications, they just won't open... Does anyone have an idea of how to solve that? I already tried all the solutions listed on the website; I even unpaired and reset my iPhone just to see if it made any difference but it didn't work.

I Have the same problem with the CNN, Breaking News, Apple Store, Facebook Messenger, iTranslate, and Transit apps. I just bought my watch last week, using WatchOS2 and a iPhone 6s Plus running 9.0.2.

Mine seems to be working fine. Try holding down the the buttons on the side till the screen restarts. Just like iPhones need to be restarted sometimes so does the iWatch. Best of luck

I have this exact problem and thought it was just me

It's starting to make me really sad about buying an Apple Watch

Am I right in thinking it's an issue with the iPhone 6 / 6S? My friend has a 5s and it (Facebook Messenger) works fine!

Same problem here. Restarted both, both updated to latest OS and just updated messenger now (29th update) Hoping it would fix it, which it didn't. Tempted to erase watch but don't think it will do much good.

so difficult to pin it down to, the iPhone giving out the data, watch OS buggy or app development buggy
