My chats won’t show on the Messenger app (MacBook)

Hey NipqiN,

Welcome to Apple Support Communities.

We understand that you are having an issue with Facebook Messenger app on your MacBook.

Are you experiencing similar issues with other messages/chats app on the MacBook? This information will help isolate the issue.

Let's see if the app works as expected in safe mode. Safe mode can help determine whether an issue is caused by software that loads as the Mac starts up. For steps on booting into safe mode, click here: How to use safe mode on your Mac.

If it happens in safe mode, we recommend contacting Facebook Messenger app developer's support. Since the issue is isolated with Messenger, they should be able to further assist you. If you need help with locating their support, click here: How to contact an app developer .

Take Care.

I have the same problem, about 2 weeks ago my messenger app stopped working on my macbook air, before it worked fine and now I have the exact same problem out of nowhere. I tried safe mood and it doesn't work in that either. So is the app developer at fault? Has anyone managed to solve this?

This has been happening to me too for the same amount of time (did all the same stuff, restarted comp, uninstalled / reinstalled app). Just saw there as a new update so updated it just now. Still having the same problems. I assume no one has found a fix yet?

me too! It's been driving me nuts for a couple weeks, worked fine for months, but outta nowhere this started happening. Works fine on my other apple devices, just my Mac mini. I've also reinstalled etc. This is the first thread I've found with the same issue... really hunting for a fix.

If none of your actions help, try contacting technical support for the Messenger app or the manufacturer of your MacBook

I have the same problem on Mac Mini.. same time period as others here.

Doubt this is an Apple problem.. almost definitely a facebook messenger problem.
