I get this dialog once I open on Android Browser. So, on this dialog, when I click the image that says Use Messenger App it searches for the installed Facebook messenger app and opens it, else it redirects to the Facebook Messenger's Google Play Store page.

I am looking for desktop application for Facebook messenger. I know Pidgin can work with Facebook chat, but it cannot work with any messenger with a person who is offline. Is there a program which can do this?

facebook messenger app

Since downloading the Apple iso 17.0 onto my Iphone 11 Pro my Facebook Messenger app won't open. When I try to open the app It just disappears, but shows as an open app, but just with messenger logo in the middle of the screen. I have tried reinstalling the app numerous times and also resetting the network settings.

reduce you font size see if that works Apple and messenger did an update that corrected this make sure you have done all updates after ios 17 update it didn't work but they did another update and then messenger did one it was working for me you have to do all updates

I am completely at a lose with this problem. I followed a couple of tutorials (only to cross-check the steps) on how to install the Facebook messenger plugin widget and for some reason it appears when I go into my website but when other people visit my page, they do not see the widget. I have whitelisted all variations of my website on Facebook: , , . Like I said, I am the website owner and Facebook page owner and I can see the widget but my website guests can not see it. What can I change so that way all of my guests can see and use the widget?

Thanks for responding! I followed this tutorial: -add-facebook-messenger-live-chat/ , I also followed yours (which is super great by the way). The problem still persists. The messenger icon pops up JUST for ME. None of my website visitors can see the messenger widget. Any ideas?

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.

When I installed Facebook, the messenger plugin was working. I then updated PS (I think from 1.7.7.2 to 1.7.7.4) and it stopped. Several Facebook module updates have come and gone and it hasn't fixed the issue (even turning off the messenger plugin in the module or in Facebook hasn't helped).

I have an interesting scenario which I cant seem to find a solution to. I am hoping the community will be able to point me in the right direction. I need to block facebook messenger on a wifi network. To be more specific I need to block the facebook messenger (android & apple) application while mobile devices are on our wireless network. I have successfully blocked facebook web chat in the browser, but mobile devices on our wifi are still able access messenger. I dont want to block HTTPS completely, as many services utilize HTTPS. I dont want to block the entire facebook.com either since there is a need to use facebook.

Does anyone know what port the facebook messenger (android & apple) app uses to communicate? I read facebook implemented MQTT which uses 1883 and 8883 for SSL communications. However blocking these ports has had no impact. Maybe the app has hard coded IP addresses which it uses to avoid using DNS. If so, using DNS filters (i.e. OpenDNS) would not work. I would appreciate any insight anybody has regarding this matter. Thank you.

To be honest I dont know which one of these blocks accomplished my goal, but as of now when you log into facebook the chat window at the bottom shows "disconnected". This is a win in my book. Navigating the site has not presented any problems thus far.

The facebook messenger app however has not been effected. I would like to thank @Chris75 for his recommendation. I have enabled Instant Messaging on my OpenDNS and I will test to see if this resolves my problem. I have to admit there is VERY little information regarding how the facebook apps operate. Short of utilizing a major UTM appliance (i.e. Watchguard) I was stumped. Blocking HTTPS works, but in this scenario I need to excise the disease not cut off the limb.

For those of you whom are curious I have some additional information regarding this topic. First let me address the last question. By blocking the domains I mentioned the apps were unaffected. Blocking the domains I mentioned only prevented users from using facebook chat in their browsers. Upon initial login to facebook it looks like you are connected to chat, but then a few seconds later it shows you disconnected. Works great.

I blocked both immediately. As I mentioned in my first post, Facebook is using the MQTT protocol for messenger. In addition I have found that blocking these two domains works as well to block the messenger app:

The trade off is that apps that need to connect to Facebook will be unable to connect as well. Now let me be clear, by blocking these two domains you will not effect the Facebook app. This will block the facebook messenger app. If you want to make sure the facebook app has no problems you can whitelist graph.facebook.com.
