For the Messenger App in the first screenshot, this occasionally happens as well for other apps (not only chat apps). It's possible that the app is either currently being updated or is currently being backed-up under your Microsoft Account. As such, it is completely normal and should be operational within a few moments.
As for the News app (is this the one from Microsoft?) in the second screenshot, it could be in the process of updating the background image (if enabled).
