Send Facebook Message

This dialog box has just two areas for you to complete: a To area and a message box where you type the text of your message. If you're used to making use of e-mail, this might strike you as a little strange due to the fact that it does not have a Cc, Bcc, or subject line.

Kind your message into the message box. Messages can be lengthy or brief, ridiculous or major-- whatever you need to state. If you intend to add a web link to a site or short article to a message, you can replicate as well as paste it right into the message box. Facebook then creates a sneak peek of the write-up so your buddy has more info before clicking the link.

This is extremely similar to the method the Share box functions when you include a link to a blog post or standing update, other than as opposed to sharing the relate to all your buddies, you're sharing it with just individuals you're messaging.

Two symbols below the message box represent functions that are entirely optional and occasionally utilized, yet simply in case, here's what they are:

  • Include Documents: Long As it carries out in lots of e-mail programs, the paperclip icon signifies attaching files to a message. Clicking the icon opens a user interface for searching and also choosing data from your computer system's disk drive. You can affix pictures, video clips, documents, and more.

  • Include Photos: Though you can affix photos by clicking the Add Files switch, if you want Facebook to generate a preview of them for your designated receivers (as opposed to having to download and install and afterwards open them) utilize the Include Photos switch. This will once more open up an interface for searching and also selecting pictures from your computer system's disk drive.


When you're done composing your message, just click Send out and be on your method. Your good friends will receive the email in their Facebook Messages Inbox, and also Facebook notifies them with a little red flag on their Web page. Depending upon their account settings, they may additionally receive an email in their e-mail Inbox letting them understand about a message in their Facebook Inbox (yes, it's a little redundant).
