Why is yahoo messenger for iphone not working?

I am not able to log in to yahoo messenger. I had the problem for several months on my iPhone 4S and now on my iPhone 5S I'm experiencing the identical problem. I am using ios 8.0. I get a message "Sign in problem, Unable to login right now, please try again later." I have uninstalled and reinstalled several times to no avail. I have no problem logging onto PC yahoo messenger version. The ap looks like it will log on when I first access it and then it fails to that error message. The rating for yahoo messenger in the ap store is terrible so I suspect this is a systemic problem.


Any advice would be appreciated.

iPhone 5s, iOS 8

Feel free to complain to Apple all you like, just understand that it's a waste of time.

Apple can only make available apps that are provided by the app developers. The Yahoo Messenger app is no longer in the app store because Yahoo pulled the app.


Since you had it previously, it is still available in your list of previously purchased apps, simply install it on the new device.


If you really want to see the app updated and put back in the app store, only complaints to Yahoo have a chance of making that happen.

Wow. I thought it was just me. OK so no yahoo messenger app at all for iPhones? Now this makes sense. I do get messages via text on my phone, through messenger. But when I respond, the other person does not receive it AND those messages are nowhere to be found when I log in to Messenger pin my laptop. Any ideas if/how I can respond on my phone and how i could see those conversations on my laptop? TIA!
