Messenger not working on iPad Air 5th Gen 2022

How did you fix it? Whenever I open it, this is what I see. I tried reinstalling and turning on-off the iPad, updated the app, updated the OS, everything. Nothing fixed it. I reached out to App Support of Messenger but nothing.

There are many reports of issues with Messenger. Many users also report that deleting both the FaceBook and Messenger Apps from the iPad, prior to restarting and reinstalling the Apps, will resolve the problem. Perhaps this will also work for you:


Delete apps on your iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch - Apple Support

Force restart iPad - Apple Support



After restarting the iPad, install Messenger App first - and then reinstall the FaceBook App:
