Why is Facebook Messenger not responding?

Facebook Messenger is not responding due to a bug or glitch on the app.

Otherwise, the problem can be with the server and you have to wait to get it fixed.

In most cases, the glitch is a result of the latest update on messenger.

Some updates come with bugs or glitches on the app.

The bug will be removed in a follow-up update—which may take some days to be released.
