If someone you don't know sends you a message, the conversation won't appear in chats, but in requests. Here you can view the message and its sender without showing the other party a read receipt.

Hide stories for selected users
Nowadays, everyone has social networks. Many of them have so-called stories, i.e. posts that are public only for 24 hours and then disappear. The first to come up with this format was Snapchat.

And as soon as Instagram came along with stories, which quickly became very popular, the bag was torn with this format. Now there are also stories on Messenger - in particular, they can be linked to those on Instagram. However, it is quite possible that you have someone in your Facebook friends list with whom you do not want to share stories. To hide stories for selected users, click on the top left of the main page your profile, and then go to Privacy. Here, all you have to do is tap below Range of users stories.

Besides Messenger, do you use another chat app like WhatsApp? If you answered yes, then you certainly know that by default WhatsApp automatically saves all the photos and videos you receive to the Photos app. For some, this function may be convenient, but for individuals who often communicate with a large number of users, or in groups, it is rather an unwanted function. However, if you often save photos and videos from Messenger and want automatic saving, you can turn on this function. Just tap on the top left of the main page your profile icon, and then go to the section Photos and media. Simple here activate possibility Save photos and videos.

I've had other problems with Messenger on my iPhone for a long time - very often it won't show me a photo or video sent by friends. It's been going on for XY months, maybe over a year. All updated, no change. I have to resend the "message unavailable" within the conversation for it to show up. Terrible voser.
