FAQ

The loading page never finishes loading

You might have an older version of messenger, see if this legacy extension works.

I got a message that says it can’t find my pinned conversations

If the pinned conversation hasn’t seen activity recently, you might need to message that conversation for MessengerPlus to be able to find it and pin it.

A video wasn’t correctly embedded

This happens sometimes when the link is formatted in a different way. Unfortunately this is still being worked on and you’ll have to click the link to see the video.
