Can't install Messenger app on new s25 ultra

Heroes anyone have a fix for this? App downloads but will not install.

I don't know if they intended this or not but I was able to reinstall Messenger by opening the Facebook app then clicking on the Messenger icon on the top-right corner then proceeding to download from there.

thanks so much for sharing this info, clicking the messenger icon on the right hand portion of the facebook app in my samsung  phone to install the messenger instead of using playstore had resolved the issue.

Exactly the same problem as of today. Messenger seems to be installing fine on my old S20+ that upgraded from a few weeks ago, but on my new S25+ messenger refuses to download. I don't have storage or internet problems and clearing Google Play Store cache and app data has not worked.

Even installing from the facebook app using the icon in the top right hasn't worked for me.

Did you manage to fix the problem? My daughter is having the same problem and nothing is working

I tried everything everyone else on here did and nothing worked. I finally uninstalled facebook and Instagram, then reinstalled Facebook. I then installed messenger for kids as a last resortto try to get some versionof messenger. I went into Messenger for kids then backed out because all it would let me do was set up a profile for a kid. I then tried again to install regular Messenger and it worked. It's worth a shot!
