Getting Facebook Messenger to work with sandboxed Google Play Services

agroop

Hello,

I'm wondering if Facebook Messenger is able to work with sandboxed Google Play while installed in the admin user. I'm trying to log in and it appears Facebook wants to send an SMS message via GPS, since Graphene gives me an error if SMS permissions are not enabled for this. This enabling of SMS seems to work perfectly fine for WhatsApp's SMS confirmation; does anyone know if there are additional permissions needed for GPS/other Google apps to get the confirmation to send? Because even after enabling SMS it will not send a text to the phone. I don't want to enable too many unnecessary permissions in the admin user. I tried making FB messenger work in non-admin users with pretty much all google app's permissions enabled but it still wouldn't send. Does anyone know how I might proceed?

agroop OK I got it working. It involved confirming that the "unrecognized device" that I was logging in with was in fact me. Some sort of 2FA that I forgot I had set up with Facebook. Had to confirm this on my logged-in Facebook account on my laptop.

I don't use Facebook but as far as I know the SMS permission is only necessary for the auto fill feature. You should be able to deny the permission and enter the code manually. I'm not sure why you aren't getting the text at all, does logging in via the web app work?
