Facebook Messenger not loading in Safari 13/Catalina

[asus389]

I have a 2017 MBP running 10.15.7 with Safari 13.1.3. A couple days ago I noticed that messenger.com (the Facebook messenger web site client) won't load the message feed correctly. It places the text input box at the top of the page instead of the bottom and you can't see any of the messages in a conversation that you select. You can still send/receive them by typing in the input box, but they don't show up. Has anyone else seen this? It works ok in Firefox. It worked fine on Safari until recently.

I'd recommend that you update to Safari 15.1 - 13.1.3 is a very old version.

They changed something starting in Safari 14 that causes eye strain for me. This occurs with Safari 14 on Catalina (even though the Catalina UI in general is fine). It effects the whole UI on Big Sur and Monterey.

It was a bug of Facebook. Now should be fixed. I have Catalina and is working well.
Did you fix your problem?

Mmmhh... did you update Safari? Try to clear the browser cache and browser history. Or you can directly download the app, much easier and faster.

Hello, for information I had the exact same issue. My config is a 2014 MBP, MacOS Mojave 10.14.6 and Safari 14.0.2. I did the update to Safari 14.1.2 and the issue is now resolved. Hope it can help someone
