So you want to send a private message or
0:02
chat with a contact on Facebook but you
0:05
are unable. The fact is if you're not
0:07
seeing this chat option here on Facebook
0:10
you will not be able to send someone a
0:12
private message or chat with them
0:14
privately. So to do so to get started
0:17
with chatting you need to have you need
0:18
to have a Facebook messenger and it can
0:21
be shown here. So if I go ahead and tap
0:24
on it, you can see now these are the
0:26
people. These are the people who can
0:28
contact me and I can as well chat with
0:30
them. How do you get this Facebook
0:33
Messenger? It is pretty much simple if
0:35
you already have a Facebook app. Just go
0:37
ahead and download and install Messenger
0:41
app which is this from your Google Play
0:43
Store. So just go to play store here and
0:49
it. And from here tap on search and then
0:57
messenger. And here we go. Now the
1:00
messenger app is here. If you go ahead
1:02
and tap on it, you'll see an option to
1:05
install here. So mine is already
1:07
installed. So you just go ahead and
1:09
install it and make sure it is from
1:11
Meta. You can see it is from Meta
1:13
Platform. So once you have installed
1:15
Messenger app, you can go ahead and open
1:18
it directly from here and it will take
1:20
you direct to your Facebook account and
1:23
then link it direct. Alternatively, if
1:26
you just have installed this, you can
1:29
still go to your Facebook app and once
1:32
you go to your Facebook app, you will
1:33
see the messenger icon on top here. Go
1:38
it. And from here, look for any contact
1:41
that you want to inbox or to chat with
1:44
using the search button here. And then
1:47
just search the name. And once you
1:49
search the name and tap on it, you'll be
1:51
able to message them here by tapping on
1:54
message. And then go ahead and and enter
1:57
your message just like that. And to send
2:00
the message or to send the chat, just
2:03
tap on this send icon here and they'll
2:06
receive the message directly. As you can
2:08
see, this chat has been sent and it has
2:10
been confirmed as having been sent. Once
2:13
they receive the message, they'll be
2:15
able to make a reply upon which you'll
2:17
receive a notification and then go read
2:19
it and respond to it. From here, you can
2:22
also see the last time this person or
2:24
this contact or your friend was online.
2:27
As you can see this this contact was
2:29
online 21 minutes ago. So that's how you
2:33
start messaging your friends on
2:35
Facebook. If you have any other
2:36
