So now let's understand how to know if someone is chatting on Facebook Messenger.
How to know if someone is chatting on Messenger
To know if someone is online, we first need to look at their photo. Don't worry, you don't have to go to their profile! When you log into Messenger, you'll notice that there are some very small photos of the people you have on your Facebook.
Okay, knowing this, you need to look at this small photo and see if it has a green dot. After all, what does that mean?
Simple! If the ball turns green, it's a sign that she's either chatting or just looking at a post on Facebook. In other words, the green ball means she's online. Using the app.
Now, if the person's dot is not green, this is a sign that they are offline. Which means they are not chatting or using the app. So, did you understand?
You only do this process on your cell phone, okay? If you're on your computer, it's even simpler. There's almost no change in terms of checking the green color.
However, to access it from your computer, you just need to log in with your details. Log in and then activate Facebook chat. This way, you will be able to see your Facebook friends and see if anyone is online (chatting or on Facebook).
If the person doesn't have Messenger, can they see my message?
Messenger and Facebook are the same thing. In other words, if someone has Facebook, they certainly have Messenger. If they are on a computer, they can respond normally. However, there is one case that we will look at next.
Now that you've learned how to know if someone is chatting on Messenger, you might be wondering: Is it possible to chat with someone who is on their cell phone and doesn't have Messenger?
And the answer is yes. It is possible! However, when entering the chat room and sending the message, the person would have to do a procedure.
First, she would receive a notification on her cell phone saying that she had received her message. After that, she would need to install the Messenger app on her cell phone and when opened, her message would be seen.
It's worth remembering that the app takes up a lot of memory, so if you want a lighter version, you can use Messenger Lite. For mobile phones. But don't forget to tell us if you managed to get it and what your experience was like here in the comments!
