Thanks for the quick reply. I did Uninstall all of it, but I think my phone kept facebook prinstalled or something cause when I tried to reinstall it from playstore it didn't even take a second to install! my device is Redmi Note 10 pro.
If it's global rom, then you are out of luck. You can however install messenger with different package name, but it'll have certain issues (such as, it'll act as a standalone app, no connection with other fb apps).
Not playing videos in messenger shared from facebook app. Clicking on a video opening main post from facebook.
Device xiaomi poco x3, OS android 12, miui 13
I would like to know a fix for this:
I think it has something to do with the apk? This app limits me my 'daily chats' and I would suddenly not be able to chat.
I used a dual app (built-in in Phone) and it works fine there (no chat limit).
I actually am still able to chat with people, but only through direct/private messages; meaning, only group chats are prevented.
I have also tried chatting using PC, it works fine even though I have this message on the android one.
Where can I download the latest versions of facebook and messenger instead of waiting for you to upload them here? I ask because the Aurora Store and others won't let me download it after I've installed chat heads. Thanks!

If your messenger apk is in the same folder as the patcher, then make sure you changed the apk name to Messenger.apk (or write the exact apk name in cmd).
I don't know what u did wrong, but it's a proper package manager command. Could be facebook bug, try older version.
(anyway, I already applied a hotfix for this problem. so links should open from messenger to facebook app without any problem, this code is for opening links from other apps to facebook (eg, telegram, whatsapp).
Many users asked for the bubble feature (those who have chat head normally), so I added an option for it too. Chat head is still its default feature, existing users can simply update as usual and ignore the rest.
For those who want to use bubble:
-> Open Messenger app and go to its setting page.
-> Click on the toggle icon from the top-right corner.
-> Choose bubble option from the pop-up dialog. [If you want to hide the toggle icon, long press on it and remove.]
often times if you happen to say play some games (i.e Mobile Legends) once the Chat Head appears and at the same time you press on the screen, you won't be able to use the touch screen anymore.
@pr0metheus92 Are you sure MRVPatcher-5.5.2.jar file is in the same folder with the exact same name? If so, try all steps again with a new folder in a different place (or maybe in a different drive).
Alternatively you can use MRVPatchManager app.
Requirements:
- Uninstall all facebook apps (only for the first time): facebook, messenger, facebook lite, etc.
- First Install ChatHeadEnabler module.
- After that, Install a patched Messenger app from here.
- That's all.
[If you need any other facebook apps (facebook, facebook lite etc), install them from here too]
Get Patched Apps:
Now there are two ways you can get patched messenger app.
Safest and easiest way is to patch apps yourself with MRVPatch Manager (including any future updates as soon as facebook releases them), there's no need to use other peoples modified messenger. Another way is to download pre-patched apps from here (see below).
Feature:
By default, this module enables the chat head feature.
If your device have chat head but you want to use bubble,
- Open messenger app and go to its setting page.
- Click on the toggle icon from the top-right corner.
- Choose bubble option from the pop-up dialog. [If you want to hide the toggle icon, long press on it and remove.]
Is it safe to use?
This whole project is open source. So, yeah, it is safe, just like any other app installed from the playstore.
[Make sure you installed the MRVPatch Manager from the official github link]
Is it safe for your Facebook account?
Absolutely, that's why you need to install ChatHeadEnabler. It enables chathead in a clean way with a method provided by Facebook internally.
What safety measures are taken for apk files?
The manager downloads your selected app from various apk servers and verifies it against the original facebook signature, which makes sure you are patching an official app pulled from the playstore. It will prevent you from installing any unsafe apps if the verification process is failed.
Note: This patch doesn't mess with original messenger code, that means any feature related bug you experience is probably from messenger itself (or maybe from your ROM). You should try different messenger versions in that case.
If something is wrong with the patch, it will crash or simply chat head will not work.
Here are some known issues that are not caused by this patch:
->Screen freezes for 1-2 seconds whenever interact with chat head?
This is due to security restriction of A12.
Solution (PC Required):
-> Go to "Developer options". (find from Settings)
-> Enable "USB debugging" option
-> Enable "USB debugging (Security settings)" option [for MIUI].
-> Run this adb command from PC:
