I cannot see if certain friends are active on Facebook, and the activity time on messenger does not show eg active 10 minutes ago
Hi @Maddox, sorry to hear about this. 
Do note that the support that I can provide for third party applications is very limited due to us not being the developers of the application, but there are a few things that you can try.
First of all, are there any updates available to the Messenger application? You can check this in the Google Play store. If there are not updates available, try reinstalling the application and see if that helps!
