So i unistalled messenger, to install messenger with old chat head bubbles for android 11 from this forum and that one crashed on start then i unistalled that one and installed messenger from google play and that one is now crashing too so i realized that is not a problem with the apk file. This is the report i am getting when i am launching :

java.lang.RuntimeException: java.io.FileNotFoundException: /data/user/0/com.facebook.orca/crash_log: open failed: EACCES (Permission denied) path: /data/user/0/com.facebook.orca/crash_log exists: false canWrite: false parent exists: true parent canWrite: false user id: 0 is system user: true openFileOutput error: /data/user/0/com.facebook.orca/files/crash_log: open failed: EACCES (Permission denied) at com.facebook.messenger.app.MessengerApplication.A05:)1436) at X.003.AL9:)5) at X.02s.run:)15) at Z.init(unknown) Caused by: java.io.FileNotFoundException: /data/user/0/com.facebook.orca/crash_log: open failed: EACCES (Permission denied) path: /data/user/0/com.facebook.orca/crash_log exists: false canWrite: false parent exists: true parent canWrite: false user id: 0 is system user: true openFileOutput error: /data/user/0/com.facebook.orca/files/crash_log: open failed: EACCES (Permission denied) at X.03r.<init>:)228) at X.00M.A0A:)167) at com.facebook.messenger.app.MessengerApplication.A05:)134) at X.003.AL9:)5) at X.02s.run:)15)


I saw permission denied in report so i allowed every permission but that doesnt help too. My phone is Poco x3 Pro and it is on miui 12.5.2 EU version.

I found a solution for myself.
I deleted the FACEBOOK FOLDER under "/root/Data/App/" and under "root/data/User/0/".
Then I deleted the app and reinstalled it from Play Store and it worked.
But your device must be rooted!
Thank god it works! My Facebook app crashing after fresh installing from play store.
After uninstalling the app then just remove "com.facebook.katana" folder from "root/data/User/0/" and reinstall from play store it will work.
Kudos!!

If someone else has same problem then just open Titanium Backup, search for messenger app and (wipe data - frost - defrost) and then it should work again.

Root needed.
