About Facebook Messenger

Messenger is an instant messaging app developed by Meta Platforms. It was launched on August 9, 2011. It is available through messenger.com and runs on iOS, Android, and desktop platforms.
Messenger, formerly known as Facebook Chat, is Meta's instant messaging app. When it misbehaves, messages stall, chats fail to load, or the app refuses to open. This page tracks current service status and collects user reports so you can see whether the problem is on Meta's side or yours.
Messenger is an instant messaging app developed by Meta Platforms. It runs on mobile and desktop, and it works alongside Facebook through messenger.com. You can use it to send text, photos, and voice messages, make calls, and share files. Common trouble spots include messages that send but never arrive, chats that load halfway, and the app freezing or crashing after an update. Server connection errors are also frequent, along with login problems after a password change. Voice calls may drop when the network route between you and the server degrades. Before filing a report, check your own setup. Confirm your internet connection works in another app. Force-close Messenger and reopen it. Install pending updates, and clear the app cache if your device allows it. If the website works but the mobile app does not, the issue is probably local to the app.

Questions

Is Facebook Messenger down right now?

According to reports on this page, Facebook Messenger looks fine for most people. Isolated failures still happen — report yours if you are stuck.

When was the last mass outage?

We do not have a recorded mass outage for Facebook Messenger yet.

Why are my messages stuck on 'sending' in Messenger?

A message usually sticks when the connection to the server is interrupted. Check your network first, then force-close and reopen the app. If other users report the same thing, the fault is likely on Meta's side and the queue should clear once service recovers.

Messenger won't open after I updated the app. What should I do?

Restart your device, then reopen the app. If it still fails, clear the app cache or reinstall it. Reinstalling keeps your chats because they are stored with your account, not on the device.
