Hi, i have a concern regarding my messenger, it feels like there’s a bug and it’s been going on for a year. The notification at my Facebook keep displaying that i still have an unopened message despite I’ve scroll all the way down and opening each message, even deleted some but the notification won’t go away. I also have another problem that occurred lately and it is regarding my settings for the messenger notification. I have turned it off multiple times even in my setting but on the notifications & sounds setting, it still appear as “on”. I will be very much appreciated if you look through this matter as it is bothering me. Thank you so much for your time.
One word under God
Jenny Ong Pek Moy
Thank You messenger, facebook for connecting me to the world.I could communicate with my friends from different part of the world that I lost contact with them for 30 years.I could login anywhere with any device in hand at different part of the world.I could experience love of God from different part of world through messenger and facebook.However always choose the right things to adopt and share good energy in Facebook and messenger.
Delete function still not improved
Hahaha nicknames mostly taken
Delete function should give an option to tick certain messages for deleting n to delete messenger chat profiles of people we don't chat with. Also please include recall message function in case we decide not to send the message. And we need more privacy when we send a picture to a person privately yet other friends can see. Make it easier to set it so that others have no access to it. Presently quite confusing! Stop creating updates that force us to share everything we post privately when we pm a friend!
Better than WhatsApp
A. Qudus
I prefer using this messenger basically for one big reason; this messenger is not phone specific. That means you can access your messages from any device & will not lose any important message due to a particular phone/device breakdown! Besides, you don’t have to reveal your phone number to strangers while in WhatsApp you have to. So your privacy is intact
We update our app regularly to make it even better for you to easily connect to the people that matter. Update to the latest version to get all the new features and improvements.
This release includes:
- Fixes for crashes within messaging experiences
- Performance improvements to remove latency in some of our core experiences
- iOS 26 support
