I love Messenger because it is excellent and so useful the way you can send heaps to unlimited pictures on it, which makes me want to use it rather than phone carriers for sending messages and pictures. It is a pity I can’t send long video messages, but I’m sure that will happen soon.

Doesn’t work with new Apple update - stuck in a loop

I updated to ios18 and latest messenger now I get “Account temporarily unavailable Your account is temporarily unavailable. Regain access by updating the app or logging in from a mobile or web browser.” So I open it in a web browser and then it goes to Safari with “Connect with your friends and family, build your community and deepen your interests. Download on the App Store” I open in the App Store and it’s already the latest version so it just says open. Most annoying loop and missed my Christmas phone call with my family abroad 😢
