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.

When I try to open messenger it flickers then screen comes back to Home Screen. Reloaded and reinstalled but nothing.

I also recently upgraded from iPhone X to 15 Pro. I followed this same advice and it worked - deleted (not removed from screen) by holding app, choosing Remove App -> Delete App. Then went to App Store and reinstalled app. It worked, automatically all linked and working. Had same issues with FB and Instagram, but they automatically corrected themselves earlier for some reason.

Have you actually deleted Messenger? Don’t worry, you won’t lose any data. After deleting, if you then go to the App Store you will see Messenger has the Cloud symbol plus a down arrow (rather than ‘Open’) next to it. Press the Cloud symbol to reinstall Messenger and hopefully it will work okay. I took these steps and now everything works fine. Good Luck 🍀
