    it kills Facebook messenger in the background no matter what you do

    Sounds like a feature rather than a bug! Seriously though is it something like memory usage and fb wants way more resource? Is messenger light still a thing you can try instead?

      Hehe. As a small town Facebook group admin, it’s useful to have it reliable, but not the end of the world.

      I don’t know for sure - my suspicion is that messenger relies on some other service which doesn’t appear in the battery optimisation UI and thus can’t be kept awake. (Opening the Facebook app causes Messenger to also wake up.)

      My previous Realme phone had the same issue.
