How to Use Facebook Chat

Using Facebook Chat, you can talk with your friends. You can also send them secret messages, manage your conversations and even turn it off.

Send a "secret" message

Using the Facebook Messenger app, you can send a "secret" message to your chat contacts. The message will be encrypted so only you and the recipient can read it. You can also set a timer so the messages will be removed after a certain amount of time. You can also report a secret conversation if you think it violates the Community Standards.

When you send a secret message, you will notice a padlock icon next to the contact's profile picture. This indicates that the conversation is end-to-end encrypted. It's important to remember that only you and the recipient can read the message.

Unlike normal Facebook chats, this feature isn't accessible through the web or desktop. To use the feature, you must download the latest version of the Facebook Messenger app. You'll also need to have a Facebook account.

If you're in a regular chat, you'll see a message that says, "Go to secret conversation". To go to a secret conversation, tap the notification. You'll then be able to start the conversation.

Turn off chat

Using Facebook's chat service can be a bit confusing. You may have wondered why you can't turn off chat for all friends. However, the feature does exist.

If you're not into chatting, then you might want to turn off chat for some of your friends. While you won't be able to start conversations, you'll still be able to read and respond to messages from them.

To turn off Facebook's chat feature, you'll need to access the website using a Web browser of your choice. You'll also need to sign in with your Facebook account. Once you've done so, you can go to the News Feed and look for the "turn off Facebook Chat" option.

In addition to the turn off Facebook Chat, you can also turn off your Facebook status. The Active Status feature is located under Privacy. This screen will show you your current active status and a little pop-up will tell you how to toggle the feature.

The official Facebook app also has a setting to turn off chat for selected friends. To do this, you'll need to open the Facebook app, then tap the settings icon from the top right corner of the screen.

Manage messages

Managing messages in Facebook is easy. It's one of the most popular messaging services in the world and is available on almost every platform. To start using the service, you simply need to create a profile and grant permission to access your Messenger account.

Facebook has a whole lot more to offer than just message management. For example, the company also offers tools to help you get rid of clutter in your chats. For instance, you can mute specific conversations if you are busy, and you can customize the name of a particular chat for easy recall. In fact, the Android version of the app has a cool feature for editing the names of your groups.

While it's hard to beat Facebook's messaging service, it can be a little messy. For instance, there are no limit to the number of people you can restrict to a single conversation, even if it's a group of friends. For this reason, you might want to consider using an alternative messenger management tool such as Callbell.

Add friends

Adding friends to your Facebook chat is easy if you know the right steps. You can either search for people you don't already know or you can search for a friend's name. Once you find the friend, you can add them to your list. This will enable you to start messaging them.

You can also add friends to your messenger using your phone contacts list. This is the easiest way to do it, but it doesn't work for everyone.

Facebook is also able to allow you to add people to your list without having a Facebook account. You can use the Messages menu to send a message to someone who is offline. This can be a great way to reach someone who isn't on Facebook.

The Messages menu is found on the Facebook homepage. When you click on it, you will see a list of people who are currently online. You can then type in the person's name and select the person you would like to send a message to. You can also turn your status to "Offline," which means that people will no longer be notified when you're online.
