Messenger crashing after 14322

[mmar1974]

Can't start the application after update it is a 959, this build sucks

I found the same problem. Uninstalled and reinstalled the app. It starts fine for me now. Hope that helps!

Open it from facebook app

Or read the release notes before posting about something they(Microsoft) TOLD YOU was broken. And saying a build "sucks" due to a social messaging app not working wreaks of abusing the true intent of the Insider program.

I'm sorry won't mention the Iris scanner is dead too then

same issue here, messenger gone and I use it a lot! F++king MS get things right please! Why do you wreck what was good????

Messenger crashing means only two things: hard reset by Settings (it reinstall again the last downloaded build) or WDRT

 

[Ruben Tavares Teixeira]

yes until you leave the app...now try to open it again...F+++k

 

[Ruben Tavares Teixeira]

sorry can't find the news where they said messenger would be broken... and I searched hard!

There's no news, that's personal experience, testing on-the-field and dozens forum posts in the past .
That's happened to me once on my old 520, random installation error, pretty little like on desktops.
The funny things my Messages was perfect during my build testing last evening

 

[mmar1974]

I've reinstalled, hard reset... same issue... now I have some other apps that won't start either... not sure I had this bad of an experience with previous builds...

 

[Maurizio Troso]

The strange thing that's I tested build last evening , and messages was perfect... Other daily things were messed so this morning I reverted back to production, that's my daily driver

Hard resets will quite likely also cost you all of your SMS messages. Be very careful about giving such advice until Microsoft has addressed that problem, folks.

So, no fix for this then?

Not only me then,

First backup them with Contacts+Messages

I can open conversations from notifications. But if I want to open Messenger I have to open it from the Facebook (beta) app. Inconvenient - yes. Reinstalling the app and a phone reset have not helped. But Insider releases, especially the fast ring, are not meant for regular use. Personally I would be quickly rolling back to a prod release if I didn't have a backup option.

Thanks for confirming hard reset doesn't fix it.

Lumia 640 here as my test phone. same thing with Messenger and Lockie. After a hard reset I had about 10 apps in the store that were merely listed in the update section with no way of removing pausing or starting the update. The same apps were already installed on the phone (internal storage). Lockie and Messenger would just crash.
Back to .218 and everything is fine just like my 640XL which is on .218

This happens to other messenger app such as wechat too, I installed the "transparent tiles maker" to pin the wechat app in start, and it works, no crashing anymore. Thanks for MS insider update, I used up almost 2-3 hours to looking for solutions.
I've heard that for facebook messenger, it could also fix the crashing problem, worth a try.
