iPhone 11 Facebook Messenger not working

In the last few days the Facebook messenger app has not been opening. I’ve gone via Facebook and tried to open it that way but still keep closing the app before it’s even opened. I have rebooted my phone, it’s still not opening. I’ve heard there are issues but nothing definite, and don’t know what f it’s confined to iPhone 11 or not?

Can someone help.

thanks, Mel

iPhone 11, iOS 13

Just to say it's not just iphone11

My 5SE just started doing this as well, If i try to open messenger it just flashes up then vanishes from the screen.

When showing all open apps it shows as open, but it just won't connect. Like you I also tried via FB.

I have it set to auto-update, so everything should have been up to date... :/


I went into app store, searched for FB messenger and there was an option to update, so i tapped on that, the little circle went round..... then it offered 'open' so I did, and it's now working. I have closed and reopened it a couple of times, and it's all good.
