FB Messenger will not open on Apple Watch

Facebook Messenger starts, and spins, and spins, and spins until it eventually crashes.

I've tried:

  1. rebooting watch
  2. rebooting phone
  3. upgrading WatchOS
  4. uninstalling Messenger from watch, rebooting both, installing again
  5. uninstalling Messenger from phone, rebooting both, installing again
  6. changing a reply in the Apple Watch section of Messenger Settings on the phone


HELP!!!

Apple Watch Series 2, iOS 11.2.6, null

This order worked for me!

  • Open the Messenger app on your phone
  • Go to Settings (tap on the upper-left picture to load the Settings Menu)
  • Tap on Apple Watch
  • Change one of the default replies to anything and close the app (double press Home and swipe up on Messenger app preview to close)
  • Open Messenger > Settings > Apple Watch again and delete that entry you just changed
  • Close the app again (double press Home and swipe up on Messenger app preview to close)
  • Good luck!
