Apple Watch "Log in to paired iphone" for Facebook Messenger

What I did is to log out of my messenger app from my iphone, and just re-logged in. After which my watch was able to read all of my conversations again. I actually have 3 facebook accounts, and each time I logged in to that account via messenger, it automatically refreshes right away. Hope that helps.

The only thing that worked for me: (and it may be temporary)...

• Go to iwatch app on iphone - General - Auto App Install ON
• delete Messenger app on watch (you wont lose past data)
• delete messenger app on iphone (u wont lose data)
• go to app store on Iphone and download messenger, sign in
• go to iwatch and dont install App again because it should now be there since ur phone is on auto app install to watch
• when u open messenger app on the watch, it will ask u if u want notifications. Say NO... otherwise it doesnt work. Your messages should now load but u wont get notifications.

Hello, go to app store and update your messenger. It worked for me. I have the same issue two weeks ago. The do the procedures, delete the app from the watch (on the watch itself and not through the app on your phone)

Delete the app from your phone make sure Automatic app installed is off in the watch app Re-download the app on your phone re-download the app on your watch. Log in automatically.

Finally worked for me!

I did the uninstall-reinstall method but when logging in, do not use 'log-in with Facebook' opt for a manual log-in. That seem to fix it for me.

Cheers!

Hey everyone, there is an update for messenger today that fixes the issue!!!!

Reinstalling both but Logging in not using the FB info but entering it manually finally worked for me! Thank you!!!

Worked for me to . Subsequently discovered that you only need to sign out FB and sign in using different account using you existing account

I tried some of one of the suggested fix here (deleting FB messenger on both watch and device etc.). It worked for some time but it will ask you to log in to the paired iphone again. It looks like the problem is on the app itself. Got a few messenging apps on my phone and all of them work perfectly fine except for this one (viber, whatsapp etc.). I suggest that folks experiencing this problem report it to FB as well to gain more traction and attention. Hope they fix the problem asap. Thanks.

Looks like on latest iOS it doesn’t work. I tried and nothing. But when you delete both apps and just before opening messenger on a watch let’s sign out of main Facebook at all. It works for now. At least you can open watch app

update your messenger on your app store. I have the same issue two weeks ago.

I have just installed the latest beta version from TestFlight and I opened app on watch them on phone and it logged in

Series 3, iPhone 11 here, can confirm today's Messenger update has been working on my watch for the past few hours.

I have the same issue and I have only had it less than two days

I have tried everything and I’ve also completely wiped both devices and started afresh. So it’s nothing that I’ve done

i have noticed on the App Store it says the last messenger update was two days ago. Bit of a coincidence. My bets are it’s a glitchy update. I’ve done everything I can to fix it and there is just no more options

Mine only did it once and once it was fixed was ok, until a day ago when it updated again! Yesterday it logged out every five minutes and it’s driving me mad. I’ve posted feedback on the App Store reviews as I can’t find a way of contacting the developers. It’s obviously something to do with their update as I’ve had the Apple Watch two months and it worked completely fine until last week when the update installed
