Messenger push notifications disappear instantly

The problem started before the newest update for the app (26th of May - for both apps actually) so I have serious doubts that the app/apps are faulty here.

Are you having issues with apps developed by any other developers that relate to push notifications? You've mentioned Facebook and Facebook Messenger.

If an app you installed unexpectedly quits, stops responding, or won’t open - Apple Support

It will be an issue resolved by troubleshooting from the developer end of the apps, not from Apple.

Settings - Notifications - toggle FB to off

Sign out of iCloud

Do a forced restart - After shutting down all open apps using the app switcher - invoked by quick double press of the home button and swiping up on each app till it flies off the screen.

Hold the sleep/wake and home buttons down together till you see  logo - then release and allow normal boot up

Then sign back in and see if that makes a difference

My daughter is having the same trouble on her iPhone AND iPod. Facebook Messenger notifications only show briefly before disappearing so she has to go into the device the log way in order to reply instead of a quick swipe. She has checked settings etc, turning devices on and off but nothing keeps the notifications on the screen.

I completely agree, but this is not happening to any other app. I do not own a Mac and the problem still exist wth face book. I have had my iPhone updated since the newest update came out and this FB messanger "glitch" or what ever this is started happening a week or two ago.

I have 2 devices running 9.3.2, one is an iPod touch 5 gen, the other is an iPhone 5S. I bought the 5S last weekend.

Ipod touch is working fine. iPhone has the glitch where the notifications come and go. The only difference in settings between the two as far as I can tell is Facebook app notifications (iPod - on, iPhone - off). I have turned them on on the iPhone to test.

I should enable them on my iPad to see what happens.

My friend (the one who is a certified apple specialist for PL) says that there nothing we can actually do. Just have to wait for the next update - not sure if he meant Messenger/Facebook update or the iOS update though.

He meant Messenger. Their last update to the individual app resolved this issue for a lot of users as was previously mentioned in this thread. If your issue is continuing after having updated your Messenger app and you have already deleted the App off of your iPhone after that update to re-download it, but are still experiencing this issue, it will be addressed by the developer in a future update.

I Had the same problem and just fixed it!

Go to messenger app->on bottom left click Me->notifications->turn on show previews

Hi,
