How messages on Facebook work
This is about using messages on Facebook. For help with the Messenger app or messenger.com
, visit the Messenger Help Center
.
When you send a message to someone you're friends with on Facebook:
Your message gets delivered to their Facebook Chat list.
If the person uses Messenger, your message will also be delivered to their Messenger app.
Messages you send to people you're not Facebook friends with may arrive in their message requests
.
We use tools to identify and store links shared in messages, including a count of the number of times links are shared.
Once the person views your message, it will be marked as seen.
