How to Send a Private Message on Facebook

UPDATED VIDEO for 2019: • UPDATED: How to Send a...
In this Video Tutorial I'll walk you through the steps to send a Private Message to someone on Facebook. You'll also learn about Instant Messaging, Group Messages and your Other Inbox on Facebook that you probably didn't even know you had.

Just had to thank you for this clear and concise video. Thank you. As a relative newbie to FB, I'm concerned that I might accidentally do something "wrong". e.g. I accidentally made a friend a "family". And now, if I undo it, I'm afraid he might think I'm mad at him. lol.

[@Socialmedia4beginners]

+reggie90009 Thank YOU so much for this comment! Sometimes I do these videos and never know if I really helped anyone at all, so comments like yours make it all worth it. If your "friend" is a true friend, simply message him (now that you know how lol) and explain to him that you were not sure how the family thing all worked and that you want to straighten everything out and you hope they can understand. They should be understanding and if not...that's on them. ;) Be Blessed and thanks again! Audrey

Are your videos consecutively arranged like in the website? how do i do it? Will you be available for one on one training if so , how much will it cost me? Give me a quote Please help me.

Hey there, Yes, Messenger is the same as Messages. Messenger is Facebook's app that was only being used on mobile devices and tablets but within the last month they have added this app to Facebook. You are able to do so much more using Messenger but it's basically still the same...Private messaging, group messaging. Hope that helped! Be Blessed, Audrey

[@Socialmedia4beginners]

Hi Michael - Facebook changed it up a little bit and when you click on Messages you should be automatically brought to your "Inbox" but now it's called "Recent". Also to get to the "other" box you would click on More with the down arrow beside it and then choose Filtered. This more button is located to the right of the Recent and Message Request at the top left of the Messages page. Hope that helps. Be Blessed, Audrey

[@janlaurent]

There is no "Inbox" on my Facebook page, nor any "message" link that I can see. Has Facebook changed that much since this video was created?

[@Socialmedia4beginners]

Hi Larry, Yes, Facebook has changed that much since this last video. I went ahead and added an annotation to the video to lets others know when they watch it but I wanted to let you know where to find the Inbox. When you go to the messages from the left side of your home page you'll see RECENT | MESSAGE REQUEST and MORE. The RECENT link if now your Inbox and to see the "Other" box you'll want to click on More then choose Filtered. This will bring up messages that do not show up in your notifications. Hope that helps and I really wish KZbin would allow me to upload the most recent video I did for Private Messaging but they don't. I can't replace this one I'd have to upload a whole other video which I probably will end up doing. Be Blessed, Audrey

[@janlaurent]

You are extremely kind to send this reply and explanation. i have had a sense that Fb changes over time (though I have been a user for only about a year). It seems that it could be a bit more "user friendly" as they say. There seems to be an assumption that users spend a great deal of time on Fb and notice every nuance of change. Again, thank you for your kindness.

[@Socialmedia4beginners]

That's what we're here for.. to help those that have questions about the Social Media sites. I like how my Dad explained FB, those that have been on it forever (like me since 2008) we know of all these little changes and additions because we've grown with FB. But, for those just getting on, you're tasked with catching up with 500 different changes and it can be overwhelming. That's why we love doing our Napoleon's Idiot Series where I teach Dad the Social sites so he is not so confused. Have you had a chance to watch those videos? If not, we have a lot of videos teaching you about FB. If you get a chance check them out here... kzbin.info/aero/PLbbnKy5q8XTVClQ1ZmvvIoh7ItFRbk6ZW Be Blessed, Audrey

Hi Audrey, What if you want to delete the private messages? Will the other person still see what you deleted?

[@Socialmedia4beginners]

Donna, GREAT question. Just tried it with my sister and researched it and even though you can delete the message from your side it does NOT delete the message from your friends messages. They still see the message you sent them. Seems like lot's of people have thought they deleted the message only to find out that their friend still sees it. :( Keep the questions coming...We love it! Be Blessed, Audrey

[@DonnaAllen]

Audrey, Thank you so much for that. You know we all have those friends and family that probably like myself was not aware of that. Maybe Facebook will change that at some point. Who Knows. So at this point it takes both sides to keep the chat box clear!

[@Socialmedia4beginners]

Donna Allen You're so welcome and so right. Many of my friends and family did not know about this until I let them know on Facebook yesterday. You would think it would delete the message from both sides but nope! Well at least for right now you are not able to, hopefully Facebook will change it in the future. :) Be Blessed, Audrey

+Terry Holden Unfortunately Facebook is constantly changing so I'm sure aome of the videos you're watching are outdated and of course this one I put together about a year ago and Facebook changed the "other" box. Now if you go to your messages you should see Message Requests and then More with an arrow down. If you click on that arrow down and choose "Filtered" this is that "Other" box. The Message Requests are messaging from people you are not friends with on Facebook but that Facebook thinks you may like to read. Hope that helps and you're able to find that "Other" box.

Hi Deb, if you are using Messenger there is no way it should be ending up on your son's Timeline. When you go to your son's profile and see where it says Message (you should see this on his cover photo)click on that and that is all private messaging. It will not show up on his Timeline at all. Not sure if you've had a chance to watch the new video I put up all about FB Messenger app but check it out here and let me know if that explains private messaging a little bit more.

hi how to send a message into inbox. who does not in our friendlist . it sound that is normal process u send to friendlist. .

[@Socialmedia4beginners]

lea lemon Hi there and thanks for watching and asking a question. No quite sure I understand what you are asking though. To send a private message to someone in their inbox you would follow the steps I took in the video above. If you are not friends with them then your message might be sent to their "other" box and will not be notified that they have a new message. To send a message to everyone on your friend list I would just write a status so that way they can all see it in their news feed. However if you do want to send a message to multiple people just go to your messages, click new message then type in the name of the friends you want to send a message to. Just keep in mind that any of those friends within your group message can add people to the message. Hope that helped and if not let me know what you are trying to do and I'll try to help you out. Be Blessed, Audrey

[@analea1402]

Hi thank you for your replied, i mean to send a message to someone are not in my friendlist. I know it will go to other her/his other folder instead of inbox. But i noticed sometimes fb will said we can send to inbox but we need to pay. N i was curious why sometimes that can been seen n sometimes cannot we cannot purchase to inbox

[@Socialmedia4beginners]

analea1402 After doing some research I found this statement from Facebook in their Help files, "Because we limit the number of messages a person can receive in their inbox from people they're not connected to, you may not always see this option." the option they are referring to is the option to pay. So it appears that if the person you are trying to message has a lot of other people messaging them that are not their friends, the paid option will not be available. That's the only explanation I could find online and it comes straight from the horses mouth, so to speak. :) Be Blessed, Audrey

[@Socialmedia4beginners]

Hey there! The reason why has everything to do with both of your Privacy Settings. You must have it set to allow friends of friends to be able to send you a friend request. You'll need to set it to everyone. To do this you'll click on the blue down arrow located at the top right of your account. Then click on Privacy over to the left of the screen. Then where it says Who can contact me? Who can send you friend request? click on the Edit link right beside it then choose Everyone. This should do the trick and you should now be able to send a friend request to each other. You can always change the privacy back to friends of friends if you want to. Hope that helps and you're able to connect. Be Blessed, Audrey

Hey Kris, Unfortunately you can't hide your Message icon where people can message you but you can block that person and they can't contact you anymore. Also, not sure if you are talking about the Messenger app on your device or just your messages on Facebook through your computer/laptop. Let me know which one you're talking about and I'll explain how to block that person. It's a different process depending on how you're using Facebook. Be Blessed, Audrey

Can you send a file through private messaging?

[@Socialmedia4beginners]

Hi Torus! Yes, you can send a file through private messaging. To do this on a desktop you would 1) From your Home page, click on Message towards the top left of the page. Choose the person you want to send a file to and where you write your reply choose Send Files. Choose the file you want to send then send it. 2) From your chat box (this is the box that pops up at the bottom right of the screen when you're sending Instant Messages) choose the paperclip icon and that will prompt you to attach a file to the message. To do it using the Messenger App it looks like you can only send images or gif files. To do this you would choose the person you want to send an image to and then choose the icon below where you type your message for sending images or .gif files. Hope this helps. Be Blessed, Audrey

[@Socialmedia4beginners]

Hi Barnie, You actually have a setting that you are able to change and that should help the problem. This of course is only if you are on the Desktop and not using Messenger App. From your Home page, click on Messages located at the top left of your account. (It's along the side with all your other options) Once on your messages click on any message as if you are going to respond to a person. You'll notice your chat box with the ability to Add Files or Photos. Over to the bottom right is a box that says Press Enter to send. If that box is unchecked then your message will only be sent when you click on Reply. Check that box so that anytime you want to send a message you can do so by hitting the enter key. Of course, when you say "commenting" are you talking about commenting on someone elses status's or just through messages? Hope this helps! Be Blessed, Audrey

On the mobile or tablets you'll need to install Facebook's Messenger app in order to send messages. OR you can always use Facebook's mobile site by going to your browser on your phone, typing in Facebook.com and then you're brought to their mobile site that acts just like it does on your PC and you can use these instructions.

I don't use snapchat very much but usually when that happens that person did something to their settings to not allow people to message them. Are you still friends with them where you can call them and try to figure it out together by any chance? If it's not showing you are even friends, I hate to even suggest or ask this but is it a possibility that they unfriended you?

I don’t have that selection on my cellphone

[@Socialmedia4beginners]

On your cellphone it's the messenger app. If you're on your FB app, depending on whether you have an iPhone or Android, you should see a round speech bubble with a sideways lightening bolt. If you click on that, it should prompt you to download the messenger app and since you'r connected to your FB account you should have access to all your friends. I'm in the process of updating this video and will be adding one for phones as well. Be Blessed, Audrey

[@Socialmedia4beginners]

We are all beginners at one point. I didn't know what DM meant and had to look it up. Just another way of saying private message but its Direct Message. lol We are all learning things together. Be Blessed, Audrey

[@JimsMusicLegacy]

I don't see any stinking messages button. Where is it and how to find it?

[@Socialmedia4beginners]

Facebook has changed quite a bit since this video was done. I have a more up to date video here> kzbin.info/www/bejne/q6eYeoSJmbaGp6ssi=BJDOLIaV23Tq_dsp However, this video was done in 2018 but it is still relevant to how it's setup today. Hope this newer video can help you to send a message to someone. Be Blessed, Audrey

Just do it!!!!!!!!

[@KINDLY7]

I have a mobile

[@chriscornish1341]

I receive profiles from “People you may know”. This is willful marketing misrepresentation as obviously it’s far more likely I won’t know these people due to the sheer size of Facebook.

[@vickilong1308]

i dont have a messages icon

[@Socialmedia4beginners]

Hey Vicki, this is an older video that I did a few years back. In Facebook fashion they have switched things around. I just did an updated video with where you can find the Messages app. Check is out here studio.kzbin.infouv5IQSdQSqI/edit If you still have any questions just let me know. Be Blessed, Audrey

[@jasneskis]

First problem. There is nothing on my Facebook page that sends messages. The only thing on my page is edit profile, Facebook didn’t like I didn’t fill in all their info. My page says present city, workplace, school, hometown, relationship status. That is it, ...I don’t have messages, new message window or other. None of your video applies.

[@Socialmedia4beginners]

Hey there, what device are you on? If it’s a phone or tablet you won’t see messages or a new message window. You’ll see a little speaking bubble at the top right of your app beside your profile image. That’s your messages but in order to send messages on a phone or tablet you’ll need the messenger app. Let me know if it’s on the desktop because you should see the Messenger app to the left on that. Be Blessed, Audrey

[@headingoutside]

I don't even k now where to find my oinbox. Mys screen looks nothing like yours. Not helpful to me - sorry.

[@perrycollins2855]

[@fll4787]

I want to message a Facebook page because I won his giveaway,But Idk how

[@Socialmedia4beginners]

Just head to their Facebook Page and should see a button that says Message. Simply click on that and type in your message and send it. They should get it and respond back. Audrey
