Who can I send a message to via Messenger
Previously, if you sent a message to a person who was a user on this network but was not in your contact list, the message was filtered and sent directly to message requests.
This created problems, as the receiving person did not have a notification telling them that you had sent a message. The only way you can see it is that will review requests for messages.
Most of the time it takes a long time for the receiving person to check this box, hardly anyone has a habit of checking their spam box periodically.
The solution to this, therefore, was send him a friend request on Facebook in so that in this way he had a notification in his account. If he accepted this request, your message will appear in your inbox, but if you don't, your message will remain hidden.
Other users also opt for another technique to grab the recipient's attention. It is simply a matter of leaving a comment on a publication that you have made, whether on your profile or on a group or on a Facebook page. All of this ends up being very boring and annoying. Fortunately, today there is another alternative.
