Facebook Messenger: 5 Essential Tips For iPhone Users

If Facebook Messenger has already been installed onto your iPhone, here're the top 5 essential tips to better your experiences!

1. Mute notifications for a time period.

Messenger is useful, but not all its features. Tons of people are complaining about Messenger notifications that annoy them every day, but if they can start to manage these notifications in not only the Messenger app but also your phone’s settings based on your own preferences.

For Messenger’s settings: Open the app > choose a specific conversation that you don’t want to receive notifications anymore > tap on the “I” icon > click “Notifications” then decide to choose a time period that you’ll mute it.

For iPhone users, you can also change the “Notification” in the phone’s Settings menu. Head to your iPhone’s Settings board > Find “Messenger” > Choose “Notifications.”

2. Delete a message.

Instead of deleting an entire conversation with a friend, you can choose to delete every single message within that chatbox. Tap and hold on the intended message then you’ll see an option to “Delete” it immediately. Of course, you won’t be able to restore it in the future.

3. Check if a message has been delivered or read.

That read receipts should be available or not is still a matter of debate. In general, it allows one to learn about the status of the message such as delivery status or whether his/her friend has read the message.

Just take a look at the circle icon on the right of that message. If it has been delivered, you’ll see a dark circle with a tick inside, if not, it shows a white circle. If your friend has read it, the circle will display his/her avatar.

4. Location data

You can turn on/off your location data attached to a message within your iPhone's settings. Navigate to there > Privacy > Location Services > Find Messenger.

5. Pin a specific Group conversation for quick access.
