Messenger works fine on my Galaxy phone, just not my Apple IPad so how can it be an app problem.

Because it is a different app. The app for the Galaxy phone only works on Android and the one for the iPhone only works on iOS. If you deleted the app and have re-downloaded it and it still does not work correctly, you need to contact Meta Support for their app. They are going to have to fix it.
