How to fix Messenger that keeps crashing, lagging, prompting errors, or not working on your iPhone 8

The ultimate remedy may be to uninstall the software. This is frequently required, especially when faulty cache files are cause. Simply follow these steps:

1. For a few seconds, hold down the Messenger app icon or any other icon on the Home screen.
2. When the icons start jiggling, tap the X in the upper-right corner of the Messenger app icon. The software will be deleted or uninstalled from your device as a result.
3. To confirm the operation, press the Delete button.
4. Tap on an empty place on the Home screen to stop the icons from moving.
5. After that, restart your phone.
6. Wait until your iPhone has completely booted up before opening the App Store and searching for the most recent version of the Messenger app to download and install on your device.
