How to See Message Requests in New Messenger

Facebook added the message requests feature in Messenger back in 2015. This feature allows someone you’re not friends with on Facebook to send you a message. It comes in handy as people can search for a person by their name and virtually connect with them via chat. However, messages sent by people who are not in your friend’s list or mutual friends list are shown in a separate “Message Requests” folder. In case Facebook notices any spam attempts then it filters out such messages out of your requests.

Update – In Messenger 2020 for iPhone and Android

Thankfully, Facebook has made it a lot easier to view message requests in the new version of Messenger for both iPhone and Android. To find them, follow the steps below.

  1. Update to the latest version of the Messenger app.
  2. Open the app and tap your profile picture at the top left. messenger profile picture
  3. Tap on “Message Requests” to see all the requests. see message requests in messenger 2020 on android

How to Find Message Requests in Messenger

Surprisingly, the message requests option seems to be missing in the new version of Messenger for iPhone and Android. There are several users including us who are unable to find message requests on Messenger. Well, the feature still exists but Facebook has entirely changed its location thus making it really difficult to spot. So let’s find out how to view message requests in the Messenger app.

On Android (For older version)

  1. Make sure you have the latest version of Messenger installed. Open the app.
  2. Tap the group icon shown in the middle of the bottom bar. facebook messenger chats

  4. Tap the “Requests” option from the top. view message requests in messenger 2019 on android
  5. Now you can see all the message requests. message requests in facebook messenger

You can now open a particular request and read the message. It’s worth mentioning that the sender won’t know whether you have seen their message or not until you reply them back. If you reply, then the sender will be able to see your Active status, know when you’ve read their messages and even call you. Also, if you delete a message or connection request then you won’t be able to see that message again.
