Messenger Lite For Android 2.3.6
Yazmín Bohon
So I use bold text in certain parts of my messages like *bold text* (which translates to bold text) and it works perfectly fine in desktop version of Facebook and also on messenger.com but strangely the android messenger app can't display the text between the asterisks in bold, instead, it just prints out *bold text*
I've been trying to block the Facebook app on mobile phones and allow Facebook Messenger by using Layer 7 and Content filtering rules but unfortunately the Facebook app still goes through however, it is already blocked on the web browser. Facebook Messenger app is also blocked but I want it to be allowed through.
If you still want to persist in the overwhelming odds of failure, do a packet capture on port 53, reboot the devices, and then access the two different systems. Examine what DNS entries that are requested.
Hi. I've already denied Social web & photo sharing -> Facebook in Layer 7 and also Social Networking on Content Blocking. But only the web browser based and Messenger apps get blocked. The Facebook app still goes through these filters. Any suggestions?
To achieve this level of granular control you want you will struggle on the Meraki for the reasons previously outlined. You would need a firewall that supports HTTPS inspection, which basically decrypts the traffic to be able to differentiate between facebook messenger and regular Facebook.
Once you have configured the recommended rules the QUIC traffic will get blocked by the Firewall, the app will then fall back to using traditional TLS/SSL which will be blocked by the Meraki content filtering rules.
After an overnight update I am unable to access messenger on my iPad. It keeps directing me to my phone to affect confirmation but there is nowhere on my phone to do this. I have tried deleting Facebook and messenger on both iPad and phone but all that has happened is that now I cannot access marketplace on my iPad either now.
I live in Europe and just got back from a holiday in the USA which is when I stopped getting messages .I can no longer get messenger on FB . I have updated my android phone that works , I have a uk phone number which I use in Europe
I also have this problem and it is doing my head in! I do not have a smartphone so how do I go into the non existent messenger mobile app? Not good enough. I cannot read some important messages. Why has this suddenly started? Not the first problem I have had with my i pad, the worst purchase I have ever made.
As far as I can see, this is an issue on Meta side. I've tried to add a phone number to my profile, only to get this "You can't make this change at the moment" message. It says "This is because we noticed you are using a device you don't usually use and we need to keep your account safe. We'll allow you to make this change after you've used this device for a while". The reason I've not been using Messenger on iPad for a couple of months now is because I'm stuck with this issue for months already. Meta, get your act together or I'll have another very good reason to leave Facebook and Messenger once and for all.
FCM clients require devices running Android 4.4 orhigher that also have the Google Play Store app installed, or an emulatorrunning Android 4.4 with Google APIs.Note that you are not limited to deploying your Android apps throughGoogle Play Store.
By default, the FCM SDK (version 23.0.6 or higher) includes thePOST_NOTIFICATIONSpermission defined in the manifest.However, your app will also need to request the runtime version of thispermission via the constant, android.permission.POST_NOTIFICATIONS.Your app will not be allowed to show notifications untilthe user has granted this permission.
Generally, you should display a UI explaining to the user thefeatures that will be enabled if they grant permissions for theapp to post notifications. This UI should provide the user options toagree or deny, such as OK and No thanksbuttons. If the user selects OK, directly request the permission.If the user selects No thanks, allowthe user to continue without notifications.
Android automatically asks the user for permission the first time your appcreates a notification channel, as long as the app is in the foreground.However, there are important caveats regarding the timing of channel creationand permission requests:
On initial startup of your app, the FCM SDK generates a registration token for the client app instance. If you want to target single devices or create device groups, you'll need to access this token by extending FirebaseMessagingService and overriding onNewToken.
This section describes how to retrieve the token and how to monitor changesto the token. Because the token could be rotated after initial startup, you are strongly recommended to retrieve the latest updated registration token.
Apps that rely on the Play Services SDKshould always check the device for a compatible Google Play services APK beforeaccessing Google Play services features. It is recommended to do this intwo places: in the main activity's onCreate() method, and in itsonResume() method. The check in onCreate() ensures that the appcan't be used without a successful check. The check in onResume() ensuresthat if the user returns to the running app through some other means, such asthrough the back button, the check is still performed.If the device doesn't have a compatible version of Google Play services, your app can callGoogleApiAvailability.makeGooglePlayServicesAvailable()to allow users to download Google Play services from the Play Store.Prevent auto initialization When an FCM registration token is generated, the library uploads the identifier and configuration data to Firebase. If you prefer to prevent token autogeneration, disable Analytics collection and FCM auto initialization (you must disable both) by adding these metadata values to your AndroidManifest.xml:
After the client app is set up, you are ready to start sending downstream messages with the Notifications composer. This functionality is demonstrated in the quickstart sample, which you can download, run, and review.
To add other, more advanced behavior to your app, you can declare an intent filter and implement an activity to respond to incoming messages. For details, see the guides for sending messages from an app server:

Up until today, my wristband buzzed when I got a facebook messenger msg, as well as a regular text message. Today it stopped doing that, so I went into the settings to see what's going on, and take a look at the screenshot to see why it's no longer buzzing. Any idea why? One of the main reasons I use my fitbit is to get text notifications, and if that doesn't work... well I will never buy another fitbit, that's for sure.
Yes there is no check mark in the box because it will not let me. See how it looks a little bit gray compared to all the other ones that are black. That is what my question is-- is Fitbit no longer supporting the Facebook Messenger app?I have a charge 3 btw
In a clear example of the social networking giant's push for a strong mobile strategy, in the next few days users will see the chat function disappear from the main Facebook app for iOS and Android as they are forced to switch to Facebook Messenger, a stand-alone app for Facebook messaging.
If you currently have both apps, then you already get redirected to the Messenger app upon starting a new conversation in the Facebook app, meaning you would see no interruption in your messaging experience. But users who do not have Messenger and try to start a conversation on the Facebook app will be prompted to download messenger.
"In the next few days, we're continuing to notify more people that if they want to send and receive Facebook messages, they'll need to download the Messenger app," a Facebook spokesperson told The Telegraph.
This move follows Facebook's decision to force users in Europe to switch to Messenger after they discontinued the messaging service within the main Facebook app, according to Tech Crunch, which noted that people using Messenger respond "about 20 percent faster" to messages when using Messenger as opposed to the Facebook app.
As users increasingly engage with their social networks via mobile devices, Facebook has sought to tailor its services to fit this platform. As such, recent months have seen Facebook positioning itself as a service that can both provide users with mobile experiences, in addition to monetizing those experiences.
In June, former PayPal president David Marcus announced he would be joining Facebook as vice president of messaging products, following the company's fourth quarter 2013 results, which revealed that Facebook's mobile ad revenue had for the first time outpaced the company's desktop ad revenue, with mobile ads comprising 53 percent of total ad revenue.
That trend is only continuing. The company reported strong second quarter results, much of which stemmed from its successful mobile strategy. It reported that 62 percent of its total ad revenue came from mobile ads. That number is up from 41 percent in the second quarter of 2013. Facebook also saw a 39 percent increase in mobile daily active users and a 31 percent increase in mobile monthly active users.
Facebook's growing family of mobile apps create new opportunities for the company to generate revenue, a key reason for Facebook to split its various features into stand-alone apps, a process known as app splintering. In doing so, Facebook increases the number of different platforms at its disposal with which it can place ads in front of consumers, in addition to other moneymaking features, such as in-app purchases and add-ons that people can purchase from mobile app stores to enhance the experience of an app they may have downloaded for free.
