@Dave Walden – What version are you using? There is a new one out – 1.2.1 (not sure you knew since you commented on an old post).

I have the same problem Alex… I have the 3GS 32meg iPhone. I soon as leave the screen with the yahoo messenger… it exits. If I am idle for a short while… it exits. Very annoying. Kinda odd that on the Blackberry Bold that I have it will stay logged in with no issues.

Hope this is corrected post haste.

It logs me out if I leave the app at all. Or leave it idle for ten minutes. Any way to change that? Please fix it. This must be embarrassing for yahoo. I want to be able to recieve IMs at all times. Please help.

Ok I have the new iPhone 3Gs 32GB and downloaded yahoo IM the new version 1.1 but the problem is that it DOES NOT STAY LOGGED ON. Also most of the time I can’t tell if I received a new message unless I happened to look down at the bottom of the screen and see a number. There should be a alert like on the computer to let you know there is new messages. It’s like someone just rushed and through his app together. This is very, very frustrating! And some times I have trouble seeing the photo ID of other contacts and they have the same problems. Please fix this asap!

Messenger logs me off after I leave the app (10 mins?). Is there a setting to keep me logged into messenger all the time?

Why is Sarah Bacon not responding to the connection issue problem. You should remove this app from the Apple Store until you fix it. Yahoo should be embarrased to launch an application that doesn’t work over 90% of the time.

well…i just did what someone else suggested and changed my settings to use Wi-Fi and now it is using my house wireless network…i wonder why Messenger worked perfectly before without my WiFi setting on Connecting to Messenger? So does this mean that when i’m in my car or in the grocery store, Messenger will not Connect? I have the 3G 16G iPhone.
Thanks, Brooke
Is this a glitch that happened with the new 1.1 update?

Still can’t connect over 3G, just wireless. Why can’t you fix this basic, necessary and rudimentary problem?
