Yesterday a security flaw was discovered in the Facebook Messenger application. Affects iOS users, with an iPhone or iPad,who have installed the latest available update. It is the one that corresponds to Facebook Messenger 170.0.
If you are one of those who install pending updates promptly, it is very likely that you have noticed this problem. But be careful, only on iOS: the version of Facebook Messenger for Android does not present any problem. Not this deep.
Users who in the last few days have installed Facebook Messenger have begun to notice that their device's screen freezes constantly. In fact, some users explain that they access the application without problems, but when they go to another and then try to return, the iPhone screen stays hung.
Other users have noticed that when tapping on Facebook Messenger notifications, the device locks completely. Some find that the app crashes right after launching it, so they can't use it at all. The fact is that yesterday there were many users who noticed this problem and raised their hands to tell about it on social networks.
