Apple Watch Ultra
Messenger (FB Messenger)? You can install apps onto the watch via the Watch app on your phone. Once installed it should work. You can confirm the presence of the app on the watch by scrolling through your list of installed apps directly via the device.
Hope that helps,
I don't have the Facebook Messenger app on my watch, I uninstalled the apps on my phone, paired the watch again, nothing helps.
Read this as Facebook is pretty much abandoning support for Messenger on Apple Watch:
There is no app for Messenger for Apple Watch at this time.
shock, it's a pity that they give up Fb Messenger, where the application was really helpful, then it's a shame to waste money on Apple Watch, it's better to buy another one with the possibility of using Fb Messenger
Hmmm - you'll need the app installed/configured on your phone. Then you can enable the app to get installed on your Watch. I have the latest (412.0) which syncs between my phone and watch just fine. I hadn't realized the product might be short-lived, I've transitioned most of my Messenger-like tasks to WhatsApp which works great on phone/watch...
You're misdirecting your angst. This was Facebooks decision, not Apple's. Complain to Facebook. You'll still, by the way, be able to get Notifications on your watch. You just won't be able to open messages or reply on your watch. And let's be honest. Typing on the tiny keyboard on Apple Watch, when you likely have your iPhone nearby just shouldn't be a significant issue.
But sure, if you bought an Apple Watch Ultra ONLY for Facebook Messenger, when Apple Watch Ultra does so much more, then yes, perhaps it wasn't the best option for you.
You do, by the way, have 14 days from date of purchase to return the watch. Before you do, you better check with Facebook to see if they provide support for Messenger on any other brand watch. I'd be surprised if they do.
the helpful application was at work, when I was unable to reply on the phone, I quickly replied on the watch, i.e. "I was saying a message to the watch"
If you do some research, you may find apps which you can use on your watch, with FB Messenger compatibility.
how to search it?
Try a Google Search. Or try the App Store app directly on your watch and type Messenger and see if anything pops up.
Unfortunately, they got rid of it in May. It was a great app

If you are asking how to add it to Apple Watch, the answer is you can't. Meta, the company who owns Facebook and Messenger does NOT offer a Messenger app for Apple Watch. Feel free to contact Facebook and let them know you'd like to see an app for Apple Watch. Apple has no control here. They don't own Facebook or Messenger.
Thank you for this info. Just to check if my understanding is correct, even if I installed messenger in my iPhone, I can no longer sync the app to my apple watch. Is.this correct? Thanks!

FB stopped making an Apple Watch version of the Messenger app. It does not matter if you have the version on your iPhone.
You can get notifications on your Watch from the Messenger app.
