Using Facebook without Messenger: A Simpler Approach
Hey there! Today, I want to teach you a cool trick to enjoy Facebook without Messenger. You heard me right – you can still connect with your friends and family without having to download and use the Messenger app. Let’s dive in and discover how.
First things first, let’s talk about the benefits of using Facebook without Messenger. By doing this, you can save valuable space on your phone, and you won’t have to worry about another app taking up unnecessary storage. Plus, it’s one less app to keep track of and update. Sounds good, right?
Now, let’s get down to business. Here’s what you need to do:
1. Open your favorite web browser on your phone or computer. You can use Chrome, Safari, or any other browser you prefer.
2. Enter the following URL in the address bar: www.facebook.com. This will take you directly to the Facebook website.
3. A familiar login page will appear. Enter your username and password, just like you would on the Facebook app or Messenger. Once you’re in, congratulations! You’ve successfully accessed Facebook without Messenger!
4. Now, you can navigate through your News Feed, check out your friends’ updates, and even chat with them. Yes, you read that right! You can still chat with your friends using Facebook without Messenger.
5. To send and receive messages, simply click on the chat icon located in the top right corner of the Facebook page. A chat window will open, allowing you to connect with your friends and have conversations as you normally would.
6. You can also customize your privacy settings and notifications. Just click on the down arrow in the top right corner, go to “Settings & Privacy,” and explore the options that suit your preferences.
And that’s it! You’re now able to enjoy Facebook without Messenger. Keep in mind that while this method provides a way to use Facebook without Messenger, there may be some features that are only available on the Messenger app. But don’t worry, you can still have a great Facebook experience without it.
So go ahead, give it a try and keep connecting with your loved ones on Facebook, hassle-free. Happy exploring!
You know, if you’ve been using Facebook for a while, you remember how simple it used to be to send messages. Just open the app and start chatting away. But things changed in 2014 when Facebook made it mandatory to download the Messenger app to send messages. Some people, like you, don’t want to bother with yet another app just to chat on Facebook.
Well, guess what? I’m here to show you an alternative way to message your friends without using the Messenger app at all. It may not be the fastest method, but it gets the job done.
On your mobile browser, open the official Facebook website and log in. Then, click on the “Conversations” tab at the top. Unfortunately, Facebook will try to redirect you to the Google Play Store to download Messenger. But no worries! Just go to your Recent Apps section (if you’re on Android) or press the Home button (if you’re on iOS) to go back to Facebook.
Now, you can enter your messages as usual. Keep an eye out for the pesky pop-up urging you to download Messenger again. Don’t fall for it! Just click the ‘x’ and keep typing away.
As you click on someone’s name, you may still get redirected to the app store. But don’t give up! Just repeat the previous step until Facebook stops trying to send you there.
Finally, send your message and you’re done! Just keep in mind that this method won’t work if you already have Facebook Messenger installed on your device, as it will automatically open the app instead of the website.
Now, let’s move on to messaging on your PC. It’s even easier than using your mobile browser. You don’t need the Messenger app at all!
Simply open your browser and go to the Facebook website. Log in and click on the “Messages” button in the menu bar. From there, you can select the person you want to contact and send your message. Easy peasy!
But wait, there’s another way to send messages without using Messenger. You can use the Facebook SMS service, but only if you have the same phone number linked to your Facebook account. It’s quick and convenient. Here’s how it works:
Open the SMS app on your phone and type “FB” in the message field. Then, send it to “15666”. Facebook will respond with a text containing an activation code.
Next, open Facebook on a computer and log in. Go to “Settings” in the menu bar and select “Mobile” from the left side. Look for the option that says “Already received a confirmation code?” and enter the code you received.
Complete the process, and voila! Your Facebook SMS service is set up and ready to go.
To send a message using the SMS service, just open your SMS app and compose the message. Start with the word “msg” and send it to “15666”. Your friend will receive it in their inbox, and that’s it! This method is actually faster than using the mobile browser, so we recommend giving it a try.
And if you want to go the extra mile, there are even third-party apps available that let you send messages on Facebook without using the official Messenger app. Pretty neat, huh?
So, there you have it. Multiple ways to message your friends on Facebook without being forced to download Messenger. Pick the method that works best for you and enjoy hassle-free conversations with your friends. Happy chatting!
Let me tell you about a neat trick called Friendly. It’s an awesome iOS app that lets you chat with your Facebook friends the old-fashioned way, just like before Facebook Messenger was even a thing. Android users can also get in on the action with Lite Messenger, which offers the same great benefits as Friendly.
Say Goodbye to Facebook Messenger
Facebook Messenger was designed to make it super easy for people to connect with each other. But let’s be honest, some people find it kind of annoying or intrusive. Luckily, there are still a few ways you can avoid it. One option is to use the Facebook SMS service, which allows you to send messages without using Messenger. The only catch is that you need to make sure the phone number you’re using is the same one you used when you signed up for Facebook.
