Also on the https://www.messenger.com, so perhaps is something on FB side

Same on macOS 10.15.6 (19G73) :(

Same on Windows 10. This shows up in the console

Upon further inspection, seems to be an issue with FB Messenger itself

I'm having the same issue. Having a blank window on www.messenger.com too. Though the official desktop client[https://www.messenger.com/desktop] for messenger works fine!

Same here on macOS 10.14.6. There is only a empty screen. I use also Caprine 2.48.0 and it was working completely fine with this version for some weeks. So FB must have changed something just in the last minutes or hours.
I also tried to clear all preference files of caprine and then do a re-login. During re-login the window was not empty and I could complete this process (login-data, than 2FA-code and than geolocation confirmation), but after that screen was empty again.

Same issue as mentioned above, running Caprine from the terminal doesn't show any additional debug info on Linux. Suspect FB has done something to break the site as their messenger webpage displays a blank white screen on both Firefox and Chromium.

Pretty much similar behavior... This might be Messenger's fault

I have the same issue and it looks the website also have the same issue so this isn't an issue of caprine itself.

This is related to Facebook switching interfaces from messenger.com to facebook.com/messages. It might be a slow rollout, but it ended up updating for me (though I can now browse all of Facebook inside of Caprine).

The website updated for me, via a redirect from the messenger.com to the facebook.com/messages but, it hasn't taken effect in Caprine itself.

Is there a way to refresh Caprine, perhaps?

Update.

Quit the app a couples times and now I'm using facebook.com/messages. The new UI is less than ideal compared to the previous messenger version; but that's a complain for FB or is it something that can be addressed on your end?
