Social media platform Facebook messenger down in Bangladesh and it is reportedly facing outage in the country. Users reported that starting around 5:30 PM today, they were unable to access Facebook messenger.
A Facebook spokesperson said via their official PR firm in Bangladesh,
We’re aware that our services have been restricted in Bangladesh. We’re working to understand more and hope to have full access restored as soon as possible.
We have contacted, Md. Emdadul Hoque, Secretary-General of ISP Association of Bangladesh. He confirmed Price in Bangladesh of not receiving any directive from BTRC regarding the issue. He said,
The ISPs do not know what’s going on. The government has its own national security body to monitor the web and they do have the power to take down specific websites. That’s perhaps what’s happened with Facebook and Messenger. The slowing down of internet speed could be a side effect of this.
One of the ways you can check for outages is to visit the Platform Status page for Facebook. This page usually lists ongoing outages. There are third-party services like IsItDown and Downhunter that can help you check the status of Facebook Messenger.
Before you start troubleshooting Facebook Messenger issues on your smartphone, it would be a good idea to check if you can access the service using a web browser.

Another way to go about this is to install a pared-down, less resource-intensive version of Facebook Messenger called Messenger Lite for Android devices. Some people actually prefer using Messenger Lite over its bloated cousin because it uses fewer resources (especially RAM and storage) and was generally thought to be less buggy.
