On a Mac and all I can find is the browser. Was there ever a native Mac app?

Restarting the phone entirely did it for me when nothing else worked.
This plus turning off read receipts basically fixed my whole inbox anxiety. – Yara Gill 3mo ago

No official Mac app anymore. I keep Messenger plus my other chats in a single desktop wrapper (Spanbox) so I am not living in browser tabs, but the plain answer is: use messenger.com and pin it.
For what it is worth, the same trick works on the tablet version too. – Ivy Jain 3mo ago
Did this hold up long term, or does it come back after a reboot? – Ben Pires 2mo ago

Not the answer you want to hear, but sometimes it really is just their servers.

One thing to add: update the app first, half of these issues are just old builds.

There is no current native Mac Messenger app, it is the web version at messenger.com. You can turn that into a windowed app using Safari's Add to Dock or Chrome's Install site as app, which is the closest thing to native.

This is exactly why I read the forum before touching settings, thanks all.
