Messenger will not open TikTok videos

Just yesterday if anyone sends me a TikTok video through messenger or I send it to another iPhone user via messenger the video link will not open. You press it and it will like it or ask if you want to forward it or unsend, but it will not open the video link. If I send to android messenger it will open it on the android side. But iPhone to iPhone it will not or android to iPhone it will not.

iPhone SE, iOS 13

Videos received in FB Messenger will not autoplay on iPad as they do on iPhone. I have an iPad Pro and an iPhone XR. On my phone, any Facebook video sent to me in Messenger will automatically go to the FB post and start the video, however, when I try to open the same video sent to Messenger from FB on my iPad it takes me to FB and not the actual video post so I cannot ever get to the video on my iPad. Does anyone have any ideas as to what else I can do? 9-27-23 [Re-Titled by Moderator]

Being asked to download messenger, but I have it Hey, I have a strange issue. Let's say I'd like to share the video from Facebook to messenger, if I click on "send in messenger" option, it opens up AppStore and asks me to download the messenger...but I have both messenger and facebook app, both are updated to latest versions. I have the same issue with other apps as well..
