How to Fix Facebook Messenger Issue
As of now, no official statement has been issued by the team on Facebook Messenger about this issue. Although, there are a few steps you can take to make sure the issue is not from your end.
- Check Media Size: Make sure the images you are trying to send are below the maximum size of the file you can send through Facebook Messenger.
- Switch Network: If you are on Wi-Fi try switching your network to mobile data and vice versa. This step will ensure that your connection is working fine and the issue isn’t due to your network.
- Clear Cache: If you are on an Android device, try clearing the cache. After you clear the cache, remove the application from multitasking and try sending an image again.
- Check Messenger Status: Facebook Messenger frequently experiences system problems. The Messenger app will continue to have issues if the social network is having a bad day. You may verify the issue by going to Downdetector. You never know who else is dealing with the same issue.
- Update your Application: Make sure your application is updated and running on the latest version.
