No.. When you click "Patch" button, it'll automatically check whether there's a new version available. If there's, it'll download the update, otherwise will show that you are already on latest version. Facebook usually takes 1-2 weeks to release a new version.

It shouldn't show in the playstore at all. Anyway just ignore playstore update.

Jacqueb here, the original creator of the chat heads mod. I just want to say that you are an absolute legend for continuing this project from where I left off. I'm glad to see that it's come a long way from what it was, and you're doing a fantastic job! I wish I had more time to work on it myself or even help you roll out new updates on your method, but life got in the way. Once I get some more money I want to donate a little to you. Do you have cashapp or anything similar?

Forgive me, I wish I knew which mod you are talking about. I saw a few SDK spoofing projects here and there (I'm not sure which one is yours). Unfortunately those mods have bug, that's why I started this project from scratch to enable chathead natively (as well as bubble) by hooking Messenger internal API.
Thanks for your appreciation, I'm glad to know you worked on a similar project.

I have no idea what you're talking about. I'm guessing it's fb bug.

Sorry, mine was an SDK spoofer. I simply gave messenger a wrapper with Xposed hooking (App Cloner does this wonderfully) and just changed it to match Android 10. It wasn't a complicated fix, but it was the best one I could come up with after months of experimenting with other methods to no avail. I tried decompiling with no luck, then tried directly editing dex and had some success, but it just brought up more bugs to deal with. I had released my first patched APK a few months after the Bubbles API was introduced.

Anyway, thank you for being awesome bro. Keep up the great work!

Hi! I'm having trouble updating to the latest version of messenger (394.0.0.15.72) from 393.0.0.18.92. It gives me Patch Failed: -118. Redownloading MRVPatch Manager hasn't worked and deleting messenger hasn't worked either.

Edit: Managed to update to the latest by changing which file server I downloaded from

    Sir you are a life saver. Chat Heads works again on my non rooted OnePlus 9 (OxygenOS 13), video calls works too.
    Thanks a lot, your work is amazing, I'm now wondering what OnePlus engineers are doing for the past 2 years... :D

    I'm not sure, you should check different versions of messenger.
    Try this android app, you can patch any version you want easily.
    Anyway, I'll try to upload new versions soon.
    Thanks for the information and I look forward to the updates :) Best regards

    Links opening externally in messenger
    (PC Required):
    -> Go to "Developer options". (find from your phone Settings)
    -> Enable "USB debugging" option
    -> Run these two adb commands from PC:
    Bash:
    adb shell pm set-app-links --package com.facebook.katana 1 all
    Bash:
    adb shell pm set-app-links --package com.facebook.orca 1 all
    Some links still might open externally (messenger bug).

    Installing directly from the manager is more secure, that's why I didn't add share option. Anyway I'll include share feature in the next version.
    For now you can share patched apps by installing them. I believe there's a Share option available when you long tap on any installed apps (not sure if your ROM has this feature).
    Actually my phone has this option and I just found out. Thank you for all your answers! You have done an amazing job.

    [No-Root] - [Open Source] - [Safe for FB Account]

    New -> [Included a Manager to patch apps on your phone]


    A safe and clean way to select ChatHead or Bubble in Facebook Messenger.

    Note: If your phone is rooted, you should follow the root method instead. Check this Thread.

    Download:
    - ChatHeadEnabler-v2.4.5.apk (422 KB)

    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).

    Download MRVPatch Manager: (to patch apps yourself)
    - MRVPatchManager-v2.0.1.apk (7 MB)
    201500056-136e4644-349f-44fd-8dfb-b5df1eacb75e.png
    201500076-4ddf8156-0351-4daa-963e-11ad25857831.png
    [Watch video tutorial for MRVPatchManager]
    [If you want to patch using pc tool instead, see pc instruction from below]

    Download pre-patched apps: (last update: 10-Mar-2023)
    - Messenger-v398.1.0.11.69.apk (54 MB)
    - Facebook-v405.0.0.23.72.apk (78 MB)
    - Facebook-lite-v345.0.0.8.69.apk (4.5 MB)
    - Business-suite-v395.0.0.32.68.apk (82 MB)

    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.]

    _____________________________________________________

    Are you wondering whether it is safe to use?
    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 your phone Settings)
    -> Enable "USB debugging" option
    -> Enable "USB debugging (Security settings)" option [for MIUI].
    -> Run this adb command from PC:
    Code:
    adb shell settings put global block_untrusted_touches 0

    [If you don't know how to use adb command, please find a tutorial from xda or youtube]

    -> Facebook links are not opening in facebook app?
    Solution (PC Required):
    -> Go to "Developer options". (find from your phone Settings)
    -> Enable "USB debugging" option
    -> Run this adb command from PC:
    Code:
    adb shell pm set-app-links --package com.facebook.katana 1 all
    Instructions:
    - Download MRVPatcher-5.5.2.jar
    - Download and Install Java JDK 11+
    - Download Messenger apk from ApkMirror [1]
    - Move MRVPatcher and Messenger to a separate folder.
    - Open terminal (or cmd) on that folder.
    - Run command: [2]
    Code:
    java -jar MRVPatcher-5.5.2.jar Messenger.apk
    - A new file Messenger-mrv.apk will be produced.
    - Follow the same instructions for any other facebook apps.

    Download: MRVPatchManager-v1.0.1.apk

    Download: MRVPatcher-5.5.1.jar (PC Version Update)

    Features:
    - Direct download from multiple apk servers.
    - Manual option to patch offline apk yourself.
    - Verifies apk signature to ensure its safety.
    - Stores all patched apps internally.
    - Option to select different apk servers.
    - Supported servers: apkmirror, apkcombo, apkpure

    Note: This whole project is now open source. If you were feeling unsafe about it before, now you can relax and use it safely. In order to make sure full safety, the manager verifies any downloaded apps against the official facebook signature, which makes sure you are patching an official app pulled from the playstore. In short, if you are okay with original facebook apps, you should be okay with patched apps. ;p
    You are free to share it however you like, But If you need safety assurance from me, you should share the direct official link. If anyone downloads it from unknown link, I'm not responsible for any risks.
