IOS 8.2 - iPhone 5c Facebook Messenger problems

In the middle of using Facebook Messenger it force closed and now won't open at all.

I've tried restarting my phone, reinstalling the app, deleting some apps etc. Nothing works.


I really hope they bring out a fix for this update soon.

My iPhone4S started to have problems with the Messenger app crashing about an hour ago. I deleted the app and reinstalled with the same result. I updated the IOS to 8.2. Still had messenger crashing. deleted app and reinstalled app after the iOS update. Still crashing. Not sure if it is the phone or the app. Messenger continues to work on my computer.

I've seen one other report of it, and provided that poster with a link to your post. As I suggested to you and him both, contact Facebook support, as this is not an Apple app. They would be able to tell you if there is an issue with their app. Since the last poster has indicated they had issues with it before updating and again after updating, including a removal and reinstall, leads me to believe this is an app issue, since it happened on more than one iOS, and with different phones.

You've seen one report?


I just logged on here 40 seconds ago and I've seen at least 8 people reporting it.


There are at least 3 threads and im about to create another. The problem is the iOS update. Not facebook.


Look at the other threads in this forum. Several people reporting nonstop crashing apps. - not just with facebook apps.


You're going to see it more as some time goes by .


Facebook Messenger is crashing for me and the only thing I did was update my iPhone today

And you will also see a number of them report that Facebook messenger was malfunctioning and they did not update. Many still on iOS 8.1.3. Also, if you are experiencing an issue that others are and there are threads already created, creating a new one is not necessary and only clogs up the forum, and makes it difficult for others to find solutions.

Messenger just came back to me (5s) but still have problem with other things with iOS 8.2 as the image of volume stays on for a while, it's slower...

I tried a thing to help the batterie since the watch app came in and took all batterie charge…you have to go in confidentiality and set up movement and health (sorry trying to translate french to english so it may be called another name…)
