Trouble joining a Messenger group from a link? Here are a few things to check:
- Check your Messenger settings Sometimes privacy settings block you from joining group chats unless you're friends with the person who created it.
- Open the link in the Messenger app Group links don’t always work in a browser, try the Messenger app on your phone.
- Update your app Make sure you’re using the latest version of Messenger. An update often solves the issue.
- Clear your app cache On Android: Settings → Apps → Messenger → Storage → Clear Cache On iPhone: Deleting and reinstalling the app can help.
