There can be several reasons why a friend suddenly disappears from Facebook and Messenger. It could be that they have deactivated or deleted their account, blocked you, or changed their privacy settings.

I have heard that everything and everyone I message will be privy to my conversations on the new Messenger download. If this is true, I will not be using Messenger anymore.

Answer by Sean Hill

I don't think there is such thing for Messenger. I have the latest version installed and didn't notice any conversation leaks over the Internet for my chats, even if they're public or private.


Try updating to the latest version because it's secure and safe to use it, however, always install the latest version from the Play Store application in your phone. If you insist on staying secure, install Malwarebytes Anti-Malware and scan your phone, then remove it.

There was an application called Kint Messenger that allowed you to connect to various chat services including Facebook Messenger. Unfortunately, that application is now discontinued without any possibility to download it. Bada OS uses Samsung Apps to install applications. Start the app and use the built-in search to look for Facebook or other applications.

How do I link my Facebook account to my phone so that my Facebook messages and Facebook notifications go to my phone? It worked on my own phone and for the life of me cannot get it to work on my new phone.

Answer by Alex Urbach

This is a feature phone which means it's impossible to have Facebook notifications. The notifications or the push-up service is available only for smartphones with Android, iOS, Windows, etc. For this phone, it's not possible to install Facebook to have notifications.

One of my friend's status says "On mobile".I was active 1 day ago like it was before and is on the messenger that you slide over from the Facebook website on your cell. Does that mean they are out of area or just offline?

Answer by Stephen Prastman

When the messenger displays that message it says that the last visit was via a mobile device 1 day ago. It will continually increase until the next time he signs back in the application/service.

Why is messenger locked on the right hand side of screen and does not react when I try to undo the V by right-clicking on the pop-up from the toolbar?
I uninstalled and reinstalled it, but to no availability.

Answer by Sean Hill

Facebook Messenger is attached to the right side and you can't move it. This is a known limitation for this type of application.

When I try to send messages with the Facebook application it asks me to download Facebook Messenger (a Facebook application specially designed for messages). When I try to download Facebook messenger, it started normally, but when it get to 70% it stooped due to a "Parse Error". What can I do?

P
Answer by Pete Clapp

Facebook Messenger is developed to work only on Windows Phone, Android and iPhone devices. You can't use it anymore on a Windows computer. Also, the "Parse Error" is usually encountered by Android users. In order to fix it, go to Settings > All Settings > Apps/Applications > Google Play Store and tap Clear data and Clear cache. After that, download the application from Play Store.

Answer by Stephen Prastman

Facebook Messenger is a chat client that allows user to communicate through text using emoticons and various funny images. Facebook Messenger allows communication between friends or between other users on the same platform. Technically, when you connect to Facebook and chat is enabled, Messenger also connects to the chat server. When you initiate a connection to someone else, the client makes that connection between you-server-client and allows you to send data to the other user. Messages are SSL enabled to avoid MITM attacks.

Why can't I install Facebook Messenger? Every time I try, it fails.

A
Answer by Alex Urbach

Firstly, you need to check if the Facebook Messenger is compatible with your platform (Android, iOS, Windows Phone). Simply launch the Play Store and then search for Facebook Messenger. If it's available, the application should appear as available. Secondly, check if you have enough storage available. To do this, go to Applications > Settings > Apps. The space should be displayed on the bottom margin of the device.
