Facebook Messenger crashing after update, persists after force stop and clearing data I updated Facebook Messenger to the latest version (44.0.0.2.51) via the Google Play Store and now I keep getting the following message on my screen:


  Unfortunately, Messenger has stopped.


I get that message, even though I did a Force Stop and cleared data via the App Info settings. I then reached out to Facebook Android Beta and their answer for any issue is same:


  Try reinstalling the app and if you still experience the issue, report
  it within the app. -Kevin


I'm not sure how reinstalling the app would solve coding issues, but just to be fair, I went ahead and reinstalled it anyways. Needless to say that did NOT solve anything and I cannot report the issue within the app as it keeps crashing and I can't even launch it.

Is there anything else I can do besides uninstall it?
Uninstall it for now, I have also gotten this last week and again today.  It appears to be an update with the app that causes this.  I uninstalled it today as well because it was constantly popping up.
