Facebook Messenger won’t open due to an error or glitch in the app.
Errors/glitches are most likely caused by the latest Messenger update.
If not, the server is down and you have to wait for it to come back up.
You can check if Messenger is down by going to Down Detector.
Alternatively, you can search for “Messenger down” on Twitter and check out the top and latest tweets.
If a lot of people tweet about it, chances are that the app is down for everyone.
How to fix Messenger not opening error?
To fix Messenger not opening error, you can try downloading Messenger APK (older version).
Alternatively, you can try using Messenger on the desktop or update the app when an update is released.
This is because the latest Messenger update may have bugs or glitches.
To download Messenger APK, you need to visit a third-party website like Uptodown.
Fix 1: Download an older version of Messenger

- Go to https://facebook-messenger.en.uptodown.com/android/versions.
- Select an older version of Messenger.
- Select “Download”.
- Open the Messenger APK.
