I have turned off all notifications in the settings for Messenger, but still I am getting their prompt on my lock screen and I want to remove it.
Does anyone know how I can remove the Messenger prompt about unread messages? I will just delete the app if not.
It appears that you have the Facebook Messenger widget installed with the Wallpaper. This is why you are unable to remove it from the Lock Screen. You can remove that widget from Wallpaper setup.
Open Settings ➡️ Wallpaper: Here, tap on the Wallpaper and then Touch and Hold on the Facebook Messenger widget until you see the minus - signs. Tap on that minus sign next to the widget you want to remove.

I'm having the same problem of notices showing missed calls that occur in messenger, appearing on the screen on my iMac and I don't have any thing called Wallpaper that I can find anywhere in system settings on this iMac.
I guess removal of messenger from the computer may be the only solution?

Please forgive the likely numerous typos, I am visually impared, typing without benefit of sight. Thank you.
Thanks Axel, very helpful :)
You are welcome. Glad that you had been able to resolve the issue.

On your iMac, you can open the Settings app ➡️ Notifications ➡️ Messenger: You can set the notifications for the Messenger app to OFF.
