Facebook to messenger issue

I have a somewhat frustrating issue where when I am looking at a Facebook profile or a Facebook Page and I want to message that Profile by tapping the “Message” button, it just opens up Messenger, without bringing up the profile I wanted to send a message to.

Because of that, I have to manually search the person or the page in messenger itself which is not a very obvious task especially when the person is not your friend.

By the way, it is working fine on my Samsung phone but it’s with my iPad Mini 6 that the problem occurs.

Hoping this can resolved in future updates.

Thank you !

Weird slowdown on messenger after latest update

Hello, just wanted to know if there is actually an issue with the latest update of messenger.
When I open a story or even a discussion, it takes many seconds to be opened (full black screen during loading). I didn’t experienced that on order releases.
It is that or because I’ve updated to the latest ios version...but it would be weird if only messenger is affected
