Hello @MetaQuestSupport! This solution did not work for me, and only recently did I lose access. Additionally, I reset my facebook password after my login wasn't working (I couldn't get logged in on the web to post this message) and I still get this same error. Should I create a new help ticket, or is replying here okay?

Facebook Messenger brings all your Facebook and Instagram chats into one place, connecting you with your friends and family worldwide. It's among the best communication apps, with a large population and features on iPhones and the top budget Android phones. But that doesn't mean it's without issues.
When Facebook Messenger throws a tantrum, jumping to a different platform might seem an option, but your friends might not be available there. Instead of abandoning the ship, use the steps and troubleshooting tricks outlined below to get Messenger back on track.
If you're logged in to one of the Facebook apps, such as Instagram, Messenger automatically detects it and lets you log in with a single tap. Other times, you must sign in with your Facebook account details. If you face login issues on Messenger, try the tricks below.
If you forget your Facebook account password, resetting it might be quicker than guessing multiple times. Tap the Forgot Password option at the bottom and use your email or phone number to complete the password reset process. After you add a solid password for your Facebook account, save it in a top password manager to avoid the same situation. You can now open Messenger and log in with your updated account details.
If the Messenger app on your iPhone or Android phone is outdated, it may cause issues with account authentication. Facebook regularly releases Messenger updates to add new features and fix bugs. Open the Google Play Store or App Store to update Messenger to the latest version.
Ensure your phone has an active internet connection. Resetting your phone's network settings usually fixes common network glitches. If the issue persists, turn on and then turn off Airplane mode. On Android, swipe down on the home screen to turn on Airplane mode. On iPhone, open the Control Center from the upper-right corner to access Airplane mode.
When you search for someone on Messenger, Facebook tries to find the person on your friends list, mutual friends list, and Instagram. Here are the possibilities if you can't find the person on Messenger:
Insufficient space on your phone may be the factor behind Messenger's crashing issue. Read our post on how to free up storage on your Android phone for an in-depth look at how to address this issue.
If you use iOS and your iPhone or iPad runs slowly, offload the apps you rarely use. After tapping the iPhone Storage icon, turn on the Offload Unused Apps option. This process only removes the app. Your data isn't deleted.
Battery optimization is also a common culprit of Messenger notifications not coming through. While the app doesn't allow battery optimization, some Android manufacturers bake aggressive battery-saving systems into their software. Read our dedicated guide on how to fix common notification problems on Android.
Did you or your little one accidentally delete a conversation on Messenger? You can't retrieve such messages. If you archived conversations, the messages disappear from the main screen. Here's how to unarchive them.
Facebook automatically deletes stories after 24 hours. If you don't see someone's recently uploaded story, the person may have hidden the story from you. If you mute stories from several people, unmute them using the steps below and check their stories on Messenger.
If you encounter issues with voice and video calls on Messenger, check your device permissions. The app requires access to the camera and microphone to make calls. Here's how to allow them on Android.
In addition to permissions, your friends must be online to receive your calls. A poor internet connection, outdated app, technical glitches, or server downtime could affect Messenger voice and video calls. Use the previous troubleshooting tips to fix such issues.
Facebook Messenger is an excellent service, but it isn't perfect. Sometimes, it can glitch or crash when you least expect it. The more features a service has, the more likely it is to run into errors. Regardless, Facebook Messenger remains the best app for chatting with your Facebook and Instagram friends.

Hi thanks for this, unfortunately this did not work. It's not the app because the same issue is happening on two separate devices (android and PC), so it must be some settings within Facebook that is blocking it!
