've deleted and reinstalled messenger about 3 times now AND cleared the cache and I'm still getting the same issue. It seems to he only a messenger issue as I have no connection problems with any other of my tens of apps and have full bars and 4G.

Anyone experiencing this problem?

I've also barely been able to reach 4 hours SoT so could this have something to do with it!?

Messenger has always had that random issue on a lot of phones. It's not just you. And remember, Facebook has publicly admitted that they randomly and purportedly introduce bugs into certain apps/accounts to test reactions and user interaction. When this happened to me it went away after a couple days. But truly annoying. Also, yes, FB apps are usually battery hogs (especially if you get a lot of notifications). Most people opt to uninstall and live with the web version and have reported much better battery life on their devices.

Facebook messenger has already made me re-log in at least twice since I got my S9+.
@SpookDroid ,

I always log out after using FB app. But I guess that still may not matter in terms of battery hogs. I don't always get a lot of notifications. I've tried using alternatives that are less of a battery hog for Facebook but there's always something that bothers me with the web browser version or Facebook Lite, or other FB app alternatives. Same goes for Messenger lite. So I just deal with the battery hog.
