Just bought the SG3, i get facebook notifications from groups and such, but when someone is chatting or sending me a message on facebook i dont get any notifications at all
Any idea? Tried uninstalling/installing , and rebooting phone
Did you install both Facebook app and Messenger app ? Notifications for direct messages work best if you install BOTH apps and only use Messenger for direct messaging. Hope this helps.
Thanks. Yes i installed both first. But i was told by another user with GS3 that he didnt have the messenger app installed and still got notifications about messages.
Installed messenger again and got my notifications.
Asked him later, looks like he had the messenger installed aswell
Did you check your Facebook settings inside of the FB app itself?? There is a whole section for Notifications and also a section for Chat.
I installed the Facebook Messenger app, and immediately started getting message notifications.

Hello,i have this problem i cant find solution.Sometimes i install rom and im astonished by how each app notify me via notification in status bar,but sometimes when i flash other roms this disappear,.For example today i installed diff. rom and i dont recieve notification from FB messenger.Im recieving from viber and whats app but messengers seems always be troubled one and when people write i dont get notified.Iv deleted and reinstalled it and stil same.What can i do to fix this ???
do you have the normal facebook app as well?
because I had the same problems until I cleared the data of both apps (facebook and messenger) and then first connected to facebook through the normal facebook app and then started for the first time the messenger. I discovered also incompatibilities when in the facebook app settings the main switch for notifications or the option for messages are disabled, then the messenger will not send notifications as well (even if it is another individual app)
and make sure that in messenger settings notifications is switched on (even if i am sure that you checked it )
Cleared data and on and off the notification settings.Hope issue is over,will type if its Solved
Hey, here is my problem:
Facebook and Messenger are always turned on in the background and whenever I connect to the internet I appear online on FB.
Sometimes I want to use the internet without appearing on facebook and receiving messages. I know that I can use the log out option in both FB and Messenger but than I need to re-enter password and re-login with all those questions about syncing my device with FB. I am looking for a solution. Something like 1 button widget that disables/enables facebook in no time. I tried using some firewalls but they took long to work and when I wanted to turn back FB on I had to restart my device.
Any ideas?

yes of course you can chat even without messenger. chat heads wont pop up but once you open the facebook app, you will be receiving notifications in the notification bar.
Hi,
i´ve tried a lot but i dont get push notifications for new incoming facebook messages in chrome. its a little bit confusing because:
1. i get notifications for other facebook activities for example event invitations
2. i've tried it with another facebook account. with this account i get the message notifications
So maybe its not a chrome problem but a facebook problem. i checkt serveral options in facebook. the only thing i found where the options you can see at the attached screenshot. everything seems to be setup correct?!
i cleared the app data/cache for chrome, deinstalled and reinstalled all updates without any changes.
Thanks for your help.
I have the same issue, I am on lollipop and latest Chrome versión..
Was it solved? I have the same issue.
No

Open your default phone manager app select notification and turn off the SMS allowance.
yeah, i tried that but was only able to go to manage apps, then default settings, then only able to click messenger over the stock app. am i doing this wrong? is there another place to look? i'm also not getting notifications on messenger even though in the settings, it says it's on

i'm also having trouble finding how to get the notifications on fb messenger to work when my phone screen is off.
give a screenshot of ur notification.
after months of annoying targeted ads I finally got tired of facebook and uninstalled it from my phone
installed separate browser specific for facebook on every PC so it cant share date with anything
I also installed firefox on my phone to use for facebook alone. it worked great until I uninstalled messenger
that's when I really saw how desperate facebook wants my info. im assuming all the goodies were loaded into messenger since it needed pretty much every permission available
and facebook is now like a tweaker trying to get access back to my phone by forcing me to use messenger.
it blocked access to my messages from mobile page and from desktop page as well
always redirecting me to app store
even when I disable app store it simply left blank screen when I click on messages.
this is really disturbing to me how much it wants to spy on me.
so now im trying to figure out if theres a way to access my messages without having facebook app and messenger app
I tried using tinfoil facebook but its also blocked from accessing my messages.
how can I get my messages to work again?

This isn't Facebook spying on you or targeting you specifically. It's been the case for a while now that you can't access your messages from the mobile Facebook website without having Messenger.
It does the exact same thing to me if I try, it opens Messenger. It's for everyone. The change was made some time ago now.
Put Facebook/Messenger Lite on your phone and use that. Or any of the Facebook website wrapper apps like Swipe for Facebook or Metal.
