Can’t Open Facebook Messages – How To Fix It
You see a ‘fresh private message’ notification on Facebook. You click on the link. It starts loading. You wait… You wait some more… You attempt again… And it still won’t open the damn message.
This somehowВ especially happens when you’re in a hurry and truly need to read that message right now.
Below is the screenshot of what you see when you attempt to access your Facebook messages. The loading bar is moving permanently, but the messages never fountain and open. Even if you attempt to refresh the page, and attempt to access your Facebook inbox again, you see this irritating loading animation – again:
At very first, I thought this only happened to me, and I discarded it as some kind of problem with my crappy internet connection. Because, after a duo of hours or so, it would embark working again… But then I embarked witnessing so many other people complaining on the same problem.
“My Facebook Messages Won’t Blast”, “I can’t access my messages on Facebook”, “Can’t access private messages or talk on Facebook”, and so on…
Facebook tech support have even posted a brief instruction (My messages aren’t loading) at their Help Center, but I’ve attempted it, and it didn’t solve my problem at all. I’ve already been doing those things before they even told me to.
I began digging for some information on this problem, and I’ve found a quick and effortless fix. It will only take you about twenty seconds to fix it.
And no, I won’t tell you to just use one of the other internet browsers to access Facebook. That works, but it’s not a fix, it’s just a workaround. No need for switching the internet browser you already use and love.
The solution to the problem is, as it turns out, to only clear your browsing data (cache, cookies – if you don’t know what this means, don’t worry, read on).
Here are the necessary steps you need to take, depending on the internet browser you presently use:
Google Chrome
1. Click В on the wrench icon on the right side of your address bar to access the settings (top right of the window).
Three. A fresh tab will open. In the sidebar menu to the left, find “Under the Spandex hood” and click it.
Four. Now you should be able to see “Clear browsing data” button. Click on it and a popup menu will display up (as in the photo below).
Five. From the drop-down menu, choose “the past week“. That should free up enough space in the cache.
6. On the checkboxes, only “Empty the cache” and “Delete cookies and other site and plug-in data” boxes shold be checked. There’s no need for the rest of them.
7. And ultimately, click the “Clear browsing data” button.
Mozilla Firefox
1. Hold down CTRL + Shift + Delete buttons on your keyboard. The “Clear Latest History” menu should now pop up (as below).
Two. For the time range to clear, you can choose “Today“.
Trio. As with Google Chrome, only “Cookies” and “Cache” boxes need to be checked.
Four. Eventually, click the “Clear Now” button.
That’s it! Now when you attempt to access Facebook, you will see that (if you’ve been logged in) you’re now logged out, and need to come in your email and password again. After you login to your account, everything should work in amazingly flawless way!
Oh, and if you were expecting instructions for Internet Explorer too… Please… Do yourself a favor, and download and install Google Chrome or Firefox, and your life will be much lighter. The best help I can give to Internet Explorer users is to give them one good lump of advice… Do not use it.
