This error appeared on my Lumia 1020 and Lumia 630 on the same day. I open the messenger app and it just sits in a "waiting for network" state.
It goes without saying that I haven't changed anything on the phones, and it is a huge coincidence if this happened to two phones at the same time.
Facebook have not helped. Anybody else seen this error and do you have a fix?
Many thanks
Phone OS version 8.10.14226.359 Facebook Messenger version 11.0.1
Locked Question. This question was migrated from the Microsoft Support Community. You can vote on whether it's helpful, but you can't add comments or replies or follow the question.
I upgraded my phone to WIN 10 and after that, there was avaiable a new version of facebook and messenger for WIN 10 on store and it works perfectly. So people, upgrade your phones then download the W10 versions of apps from store and enjoy your phone 🙂
Again to everybody in this thread:
If your phone is running Windows phone 8.1 or an older Windows phone version, you won't be able to use the Facebook messenger app anymore!!
Facebook has dropped support for Windows phone 8.1 and older OSses!
Facebook messenger requires at least a phone running Windows 10 mobile.
If your phone cannot be upgraded to Windows 10 mobile, you have to use the web services at the Facebook website
