When you’re messaging someone on Facebook Messenger, there are a few things you can do to make sure your message is received and read.

  1. Type the recipient’s name into the chat box and hit send.
  2. If the recipient has a public profile, they’ll see their name in blue when they’re mentioned in a message. If they don’t have a public profile, their name will be in green if they’re an individual user and in red if they’re a group member.
  3. To reply to someone, type their name into the chat box and hit send again.
