I’ve actually done a bit of digging into this, as I had the same question on my mind. From what I’ve researched and tried by myself, I found that the “messenger” status could occur due to
1) the user not being active for more than 24hrs
2)the user has turned off online active status for selected contacts (those select contacts will only see “messenger” instead of “active x mins ago”)
3) the user does not have the messenger app and is not online on the desktop website.
Hope this helps anybody who’s got this question on mind.
P.S. If there are any more possibilities for this occurrence, plz feel free to add more.
Cheers
