Messenger Lite Android 2.3.6
Roseanne Gennett
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*
About a month ago, Messenger implemented an in-app browser, similar to the one on the main Facebook app. It's terribly slow, and I'd love to load links in Chrome (or Tumblr, or Twitter, or whatever app is actually meant for the link). I've looked all over and cannot figure out how to disable it - all help I find is for Facebook's in-app browser, not Messenger's. I'm using a Oneplus 3 with the default Oxygen OS. Thanks!
Not sure if you figured this out or not, or maybe they fixed it, but I figured it out. Open messenger. In the far upper right corner, tap the silhouette icon that takes you to your profile. Scroll down and check "open links externally"
However if you are noticing that your in-app browser is slow, you may need to head into your Settings -> Apps and clear cache for Android System WebView and Google Chrome. (You may have to turn on Show System in the three dot menu.)
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.
The final website should have two choices on top: Forums and Chats. When user clicks on chat, all private messages should display just like they do on web.whatsapp.com. Is this possible? If yes, it could be best of both worlds of a forum+messenger.
Just to make things more clear - I am Admin of a telegram channel which has 50K+ members. I plan to bring them all on discourse with a content plan for forums. But to make the community a hit, I need to provide them personal messaging also.
In private messages, the topic will need to be hidden (it can auto populate from the message). The display of private messages should be as per first fixed characters. Like whatsapp displays the initial part of message. The listing of DMs need to be made really cool like whatsapp of telegram displays a list of chats.
Thank you all for your responses in this thread or via PMs. I have talked to few friends; and demand for such community seems to be HUGE. We are planning to pool money for developing a highly scalable good quality app.
I am open to use any other app for chat which allows customization of smileys and GIF. For forums we can use Discourse, for chat any messenger which allows SSO with Discourse and customization for community. The chat messenger should allow communication between my community users only.
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
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.
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.
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:

Has anyone gotten Facebook Messenger to open the external app on an Android device? I can get my link to work on a Windows PC in the Chrome Browser, but on my tablet and phone (both Android) the same link does not open Messenger.
Launch("fb-messenger://") and Launch("messenger://") in the OnSelect property of an icon both open the Messenger App in Windows from the testing screen in PA. What I cannot get to work is passing the parameter for whom I want to send the message to and have it open a new message with that person selected. Still working on that...
I have been looking to find a URL that would work. When I view the messenger urls in the browser I see something like , but the user names I see vary between firstname.lastname.### and profile#'s. So not sure how to make the URL point to it the same for either type of link.
Sorry to be no help, but it seems like you've tried everything I would suggest. You could post this to the ideas forum for native support in launching android apps, (If that's a possibility in the Android SDK).
