Messenger threads not scrolling up enough to read last line

I found the answer to Facebook Messenger hiding last bubble in a conversation. Mine is back to working normal.

As Meta suggested, I went to the Apple Store App and chose Messenger. I pressed on the word Messenger (no need to open the app) in the Apple Store App and “update” popped up. I clicked on that and now Messenger once again works.

I remember back in the day setting all my apps at the store app to automatically update. Over a lot of years, I’ve never had to manually update until iOS 26 came out. I did the same thing for Facebook and “update” popped up.

I hope this helps.

Someone here, and I can’t find the thread now, said that when you’re on the Messenger app, vigorously shake the iPad and a window will pop up from Meta asking for you to write out the problem. Who knew? So, I wrote the complaint about messenger and I also stated that more people are having the same problem.

Whether that resolves anything is remained to be seen. I’m skeptical. Here is a screenshot.

In the meantime click emoji to see last line.

mine started doing it after the #26 update.

Yeah I’ve tried every suggestion I can find anywhere, Google, Google AI, Reddit, Apple discussions, Meta’s AI, my mum,…

There are many fine alternatives to Meta apps and services, including chat apps.

Signal, for one of many examples.

This Facebook Messenger bug for me has been happening the day (just about 3 days ago) I updated to IOS26.2. I don’t use Messenger a ton, but when I do, the current screen drives me nuts! Lol. I have tried all suggestions Google gave me as well.

Unfortunately, only Meta can address issues with their Apps.

Subsequent to updates to a host Operating System, Applications (Apps) often require update to maintain compatibility - this being true of any OS, Apple or otherwise.

So, you’re saying we need to wait for a bug fix to come through? I can do that. I have iPad Air 4. Some suggestions say to go to settings, display, and brightness, then to Display Zoom. My iPhone has Display Zoom, but my iPad does not have Display Zoom anywhere that I can find. Weird.

Thank you!

Do you mean for a fix, or just forget Messenger??

If the latter, then I’ve got to convince the rest of my world to jump on the same alternative app…..not happening is it…

The only person that natters here is you.

You need to decide if the value you get from Facebook is worth the value that Facebook extracts from you.

if you do decide you want to continue to use Facebook apps and services, then you get to deal with all of what that means. Including the ongoing problems with their apps and services.
