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

My messenger and apple watch were working fine and randomly stopped. Messenger continually tells me to log in to the paired iphone when trying to load Facebook Messenger. I have restarted both my phone and watch, unpaired and repaired, deleted the app from both and redownloaded. Nothing is working. If I delete the app from my watch the Facebook Messenger messages will come through and let me reply but if the app is downloaded I wont get a message on my watch and the Messenger app just says, "log in to the paired iphone".

HELP!!!


Apple Watch Series 3, watchOS 6

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.
