Facebook Messenger not working after iOS 17 Update

Since downloading the Apple iso 17.0 onto my Iphone 11 Pro my Facebook Messenger app won't open. When I try to open the app It just disappears, but shows as an open app, but just with messenger logo in the middle of the screen. I have tried reinstalling the app numerous times and also resetting the network settings.

If someone could please advise.

I have the same problem. It works fine on my iPad with iOS 17 but not on my iPhone 12. Tried deleting the app and re-installing but the problem remains. Next thought was to reset the phone and reinstall everything or just revert back to iOS 16, but have decided to wait a while and see if Facebook and / or Apple get this sorted. The amount of time iOS 17 has been in use by testers as a beta, and still it falls on its face.

Yes , i erased the entire iphone with 70 g backup , it took me 3 hours to restore and guess what ? The “****” fb messenger was working only for about an hour past the final restore and then in started doing the same thing = back to not working at all :( , this is a clearly FB issue and i hope they will send an update ASAP . I cant figure out what is the trigger considering other devices in our household on ios 17 do not have this issue .
