Messenger not opening on ipad

Messenger was working fine on my ipad. Just in the last 1-2 weeks it would not open. I've followed all the normal hints eg shutting down and reinstalling but no difference. Still will not open. Help please

There are many reports of issues with FaceBook Messenger. Many users also report that deleting both the FaceBook and FaceBook Messenger Apps from the iPad, prior to restarting and then reinstalling the Apps, will resolve the problem:
