Facebook says it's fixed a glitch in its Messenger app on Thriller ArchivesAndroid that was causing major battery issues.

Users had complained about the app draining their phone's battery in a matter of hours, even if they weren't actively using it.

If you're experiencing the glitch, simply restart your Messenger app. The problem was related to an issue with Facebook's servers, Marcus said, so no app update is required.

Marcus also advised that anyone using the beta version of the apps switch to the normal version for a better experience.
