I can't find the latest version for my smartphone on APKMirror (v85.0.0.15.70).

Where can I find it ? :(
[Android Apps and Games] lorantm:
Even if you found it it wouldn't work properly. Rather use 84.0.0.20.70.
[Android Apps and Games] Mozz89:
this version is okay for all smartphone?
[Android Apps and Games] JustFrame:
Okay sir. Thanks for informing.
[Android Apps and Games] lorantm:
They started to remove the messaging library too. 30% has been removed from the latest alpha. Notifications still don't work.
[Android Apps and Games] tavatien86:
hi [MENTION=7414440]lorantm[/MENTION], did the patch affect to the comment like, because i can't press like the comment, sr if the official FB app has same problem and sr for my E too Thanks :D
[Android Apps and Games] lorantm:
The patcher has nothing to do with it.
[Android Apps and Games] motfis:
S

You said before that if they remove the messaging code in FB app, it will reduce the app size a lot.

But why instead of smaller size, the app size is increasing now? From ~39 Mb to ~47 Mb...

Do you know if they have new features in the latest FB app?
[Android Apps and Games] lorantm:
It's because not all the files are compressed within the apk in the recent releases. But actually the total size of dex files got 5MB smaller and even some resources has been moved out that the removed classes were depending on.

You can try it: re-compress 85.0.0.0.18 (last patchable alpha) and the latest alpha's apk and compare their sizes. The latest one will be smaller.

[MENTION=7414440]lorantm[/MENTION] On Facebook v85.0.0.15.70 patcher success, but after install on my device messenger won't load, always fail when i refresh it.
[Android Apps and Games] lorantm:
I already told that 2 times or so.

Last patchable versions are listed in OP.
[Android Apps and Games] exodius48:
So would v86 stable patchable?
[Android Apps and Games] kryshnakishore:
No way, v84 is last one
[Android Apps and Games] exodius48:
If so, this patcher would be discontinued? v85++ not patchable.
[Android Apps and Games] kryshnakishore:
Yes, may be discont
[Android Apps and Games] machao_mengqi:
Nooooo!!! :crying::crying: maybe I will use FB lite or FB mobile (web) if FBPatcher discont :(:(:crying::crying:
[Android Apps and Games] lorantm:
Or just wait until they remove all the unreachable code from their app (use the latest patched FB for now), then install the latest official app with Messenger 1.0. You should disable auto-update for the old Messenger and hide it from your launcher, won't need to start it ever -- it just allows you to access your messages in the FB app's browser. You won't be forced to update or log in to Messenger.

The mobile site is really inconvenient because it forces you to download Messenger and you have to switch to desktop mode to see your messages (luckily the site is still the mobile version after the switch).
[Android Apps and Games] kryshnakishore:
Yes, this is what I am doing now
[Android Apps and Games] rogxd:
Is there a way to completely hide messenger 1 from Google Play updates? For example by a little modify of the original apk, so it is not recognised as original
[Android Apps and Games] lorantm:
If you modified it you couldn't install it if other Facebook apps were also installed.

Go to Play Store -> Messenger -> tap the button next to the search icon and disable auto updates. It's really easy and has to be done only once.
[Android Apps and Games] jad88:
Hi guys. Can you upload for me Facebook 85.0.0.0.18 alpha x86 and 84.0.0.20.70 stable x86? These are the last patchable versions but I can't find them 'cause apk mirror has arm apks only. Thank you and sorry for my English :)
[Android Apps and Games] rogxd:
I know, but it is always visible in the app list waiting for update. When I tap on "update all" every time is requested if I want to update also this app. It is not important, but it is annoying :)
[Android Apps and Games] exodius48:
Hmm...today i try fb lite, its very lag on my device. regular fb app is better for me.

If the patcher discontinued, i'll stick at latest regular fb app patched version.
[Android Apps and Games] raptorddd:
i cant use any othe app. my service is 1gb of facebook only thru app not web browser or fblite.. :crying:
[Android Apps and Games] Tomi_Ohl:
[MENTION=7414440]lorantm[/MENTION] just a suggestion: can you modify your patcher, so that it would patch v85 versions too, but then tapping the messenger icon would just lead to mobile site? So basically the same would happen as with messenger 1.0. The thing is that 1.0 can't be installed on marshmallow, parse error.
[Android Apps and Games] lorantm:
Interesting, I'm on 6.0 too and can install messenger 1.0 without any problems. I found it here.

But if it doesn't work, I'll modify the patcher.
[Android Apps and Games] Tomi_Ohl:
This version works, thanks! The previous might have been a corrupt download.

However I still keep my suggestion. That way we could use launchers without hiding feature and play store wouldn't beg us for update. Of course do it only if it's not too much work.
[Android Apps and Games] anastasiszn:
how i can find 2.7 version because i have message error bug?
[Android Apps and Games] lorantm:
2.8 does the same as 2.7 (with a few extra features).

The last patchable FB version is 84.0.0.20.70, later versions aren't patchable. Maybe that's your problem.

2.9 is coming next week with support for latest versions. Only web view messaging will be available for v85+!
[Android Apps and Games] anastasiszn:

error something went wrong for latest facebook apps v85, so it can't show messages
[Android Apps and Games] wolfballz:
Which version of 85? It's right there in your quote of the OP the latest patchable alpha is 85.0.0.0.18
[Android Apps and Games] arnab1992:
[MENTION=7414440]lorantm[/MENTION] where is the download link of fbpatcher. The attachment is only the .jar file. Please give me the full file
[Android Apps and Games] lorantm:
What's the problem with that? You should be able to run the jar file if you have Java installed.

Or you can find a link to patched apk's right at the top of the first post.
[Android Apps and Games] arnab1992:
Yes. I just saw your guide ss and thought file missing. Now working fine
[Android Apps and Games] lorantm:
2.9 is out, you can use the latest version of Facebook if you like the mobile site chat (or you can stay on 84.0.0.20.70 or 85.0.0.0.18 with embedded Messenger).
[Android Apps and Games] exodius48:
Does latest version of fb only support mobile site messenger?
[Android Apps and Games] aldanopolis:
With this patch the message notification works?

Enviado desde mi Moto G mediante Tapatalk
[Android Apps and Games] lorantm:
Yes.

If it works with the official apk + messenger 1.0, then it should work with the patched apk.

But it actually doesn't work because Facebook messed it up from v85...

I recommend using the last versions that contain the Messenger code.
[Android Apps and Games] anastasiszn:
i used in 86.0.0.19.69 official based in kitkat and dont working :)
[Android Apps and Games] Vule991:
Used 2.9 and think that web view messenger works better and more useful than the previous in later versions. Patched App is much smaller :)

Good game!
[Android Apps and Games] akubaek:
can i know how the web view look alike?
[Android Apps and Games] loan92:
[MENTION=7414440]lorantm[/MENTION]

I would like to propose a solution to the web view chat ... do not have skills therefore do not know how we can change the chat board ... but if this were possible, you may redirect the chat to this site ... that is the site of FACEBOOK Messenger for PC (via the browser) https://www.messenger.com ... This site but should be redirected as if it was opened by a PC and not as a mobile version ... it would be a good solution ... I had seen which it had been implemented in some versions of metal for facebook ... you could do a test, and see if you can make this change?

PS: Sorry for my BAD English !!!
[Android Apps and Games] lorantm:
It's not possible for several reasons:

- in-app browser sends mobile user agent by default, if it was changed just for this, every page would load as on desktop.

- messenger.com is really inconvenient to use in a mobile browser

- m.facebook.com is the default messaging interface that Facebook offers in their app to those who aren't forced to install Messenger. You would also get it with the official, unpatched app if you installed Messenger 1.0. I think it's good as it is, don't really want to mess with it. :)
[Android Apps and Games] yitox:
buen trabajo bro gracias????
[Android Apps and Games] lorantm:
I'm going to release a new app, FBConverter tomorrow. There's still a little work with it but it's almost ready.

It will allow you to convert 4.0+ Facebook apk variants to 5.0+ ones and vice versa.
[Android Apps and Games] asms5583:
you are a great developer thanks man
[Android Apps and Games] aldanopolis:
With latest version and latest patch, messages dont show, just open browser

Enviado desde mi Moto G mediante Tapatalk
[Android Apps and Games] lorantm:
Converter is out. It's in the attachments section of the OP.

- Good for those who want to use a specific FB version that's only available as a 5.0+ variant but they have a 4.x device

- Powered by FbPatcher's APK repack engine

- Works with unpatched and patched APK's

- Resigns the APK so it won't be updated and can't be installed over an official Facebook app
[Android Apps and Games] lorantm:
It's normal. You should enable the in-app browser and you'll see your messages there.

[Android Apps and Games] lorantm:

It's clear that you have Facebook preinstalled so you have to root your device and remove it.

[Android Apps and Games] lynxeon:
There is any way to delete the install messenger message on m.facebook.com/messages without click on desktop view?

And implementación the chat of Facebook Lite? I think hidding the rest of this app and open when clicks on Messenger button on Facebook would be possible.

[Android Apps and Games] lorantm:
How many times should it be told that Messenger code is missing from the later versions and only web view messaging is available?

If you read the OP, you would know this. Use 84.0.0.20.70 to get the messenger UI...
[Android Apps and Games] nghiepduclub:
messenger on facebook , i don't see facebook version 84.0.0.20.70, can you for me link ?
[Android Apps and Games] lorantm:
Here you are.

It's a 5.0+ variant so if you have a 4.x device you can convert the apk with FBConverter (you can find it in the first post).

Hi guys. FB 89.0.0.0.39 (x86) patched with patcher 2.9 works only without Messenger. With Messenger FB shows a warning like it isn't patched. Is there a way for using FB patched and Messenger together? I have two accounts and I'd need both apks. Thanks and sorry for my English.
[Android Apps and Games] rogxd:
Sorry, I don't understand what is the advantage to use patched Facebook with Messenger...

Inviato dal mio SM-G900F utilizzando Tapatalk
[Android Apps and Games] lorantm:
It was told many times, but again in details:

Until v55, Facebook had a built-in Messenger with quite rich functionality which could be accessed with chat enabler or Messenger 1.0. Starting with v56, this messenger was replaced with a web view showing your messages on the mobile site, but the Messenger code was still in there and I could activate it with some non-trivial modifications to the app's code. Without these changes that code would have been inaccessible, but FbPatcher enabled it by automatically performing the hacks. So you got a feature-rich Messenger built into the main app instead of a web view messaging interface. But from v85, Facebook has taken out the most important part of the code that was being activated by the patcher so I decided to close this project. I was asked to support later versions though, so they can be patched with 2.9 but don't expect more than a web view for messaging. If you need the regular Messenger window, use the last stable version (84.0.0.20.70) that contains the code.

Hope this was a satisfying answer for everyone, maybe I'll even copy and paste it to the OP...
[Android Apps and Games] jad88:
I have two fb accounts and I use one of them with Messenger only. So I was asking if it was possible

No no, I like 2.9 too. Maybe you don't understood my bad English... I was asking only if there is a way for using fb patched and messenger together like I did with the messenger code in the apk. I can't find last fb patchable with the old method for my x86 device. I asked here too with no answers. I know what is the "problem" with the new apk :) Thank your for your job.
[Android Apps and Games] thereassaad:
[MENTION=7414440]lorantm[/MENTION] mind u post v2.8 , i accidentally formated my pc & with no backup so ur patcher tool was deleted , so mind u re posted on op or here

Thank u ..
[Android Apps and Games] lorantm:
I already deleted that version but never mind, it did the same as 2.9 but didn't support the latest versions.
[Android Apps and Games] thereassaad:
I know it didn't supported latest fb apk but i need it for old versions of fb my friend ??
[Android Apps and Games] lorantm:
I don't think it's possible because if Facebook detects that you have Messenger installed then uses it as default messaging app. The package needs to be renamed but that's not so easy because there are many references to the package name in the code itself.
[Android Apps and Games] lorantm:
2.9 supports them too.
[Android Apps and Games] jad88:
Ok, Thank you!
[Android Apps and Games] jineshpatel30:
Edit : inbuilt messenger is working property again (i.e without problem described below) it might be server glitch for some time, still give it try and see if you caught up with it or not ;) cheers !

I think i caught up with weird issue in 84.0.20.70 , since today morning (or atleast i remember it from this time )

After i reboot phone & open FB i only see my "favourite" ppl on Facebook (inbuilt) messenger sidebar !

Though i found a work around for this, disabling Chat from "app setting" and then turning it on from side bar, enables all online ppl for chat again :D

This work around is sticky until we reboot our phone (i.e simple closing FB app & reopening doesn't give you only favourites )

But when you reboot your phone you need to apply Workaround again to regain all online friend list.

I'm on Nexus 5, 6.0.1 btw.

Take a look if you can find any culprit ;) ( i hope it's not server side :( )

I got same here. Switching to non-patched apk with messenger v.1 also not not working. Always redirect to open in browser :(
[Android Apps and Games] lorantm:
I also experienced the same in the past two days.

It's clear that Facebook did something on server side to ban patched apps.

Edit: with Messenger 1.0 installed, I'm able to see my messages in the in-app browser on the latest stable. I don't understand why does the app redirect some of you to the external browser. There should be an option in the app settings called Links open externally or something like this.

Using the unpatched FB + messenger v.1, still asking to open in external browser. And no option to disable it. [MENTION=7414440]lorantm[/MENTION] : maybe you could modify something: if I open the chat using the right bar, it works. It only FCs if I open the messenger icon on the top.
[Android Apps and Games] a.broken.star:
Yes.. It force closes now when clicking the message icon.. But going to someone's profile and then clicking msg opens the msg box. Using chat to open msg box also works. Darn FB.. They did some server side change..
[Android Apps and Games] jineshpatel30:
Use FB v82.0.0.23.70 in case of FCs !

if you are facing FC on clicking top messenger icon on v83/84 & you hate messenger web view in 85+ patched , just revert back to version 82.0.0.23.70 from apk mirror and patch it with fb patcher 2.8/2.9 and it'll work like charm !

i think the culprit may be fb started some clean up from v83 which [MENTION=7414440]lorantm[/MENTION] might missed to notice because Original FB apk size changed drastically from v82 onward (~47MB to 50 to 56 ). so there may be chance that v84 is missing some shred of code and it's giving FCs

plus bonus is, i just installed v82 and i'm seeing new messenger UI while clicking top messenger icon , it includes favorites & Now online section as well instead of just old conversations , which actually look very good. (i think it's server side feature and v84 is messing some code to display these changes so it's giving FCs ;) )

so long story short use FB v82.0.0.23.70 from apkmirror & patch it with fb patcher 2.8/2.9 and you are good to go with added eye-candy :laugh:

enjoy it ! (hopefully for long time ;) ) & click Thanks for me :p
