Messenger guides cover the message, the call and access to the app. These are different tasks. This archive brings those topics together with past launch news. Choose the task first. Then check the date and product name before following an old screen guide.
Match the control to the conversation
Messenger screen sharing lets you show part of your screen during a call. Before sharing, choose the work you want to show and close unrelated content. This is a step to prepare for a call. It does not mean the app hides every private detail for you.
Messenger app lock controls access on the device. That is a different job from choosing who gets a message. Our earlier report covers the lock’s launch. Read current device and app help before assuming that every phone has the same control.
Keep display and message choices separate
Messenger dark mode changes how the app looks. The old emoji-based story below describes the launch. It does not mean you need the same trigger now. Match the current app’s display controls to the screen you want to change.
Sent message controls and message forwarding affect the chat itself. Read what a command affects before using it. You may want to remove an item from your view, change a sent item or pass a copy on. Each action does a different job. Our WhatsApp archive offers related message guidance for another service.
Recognize the older product stories
Messenger feature history includes Messenger Rooms. Meta’s updated Rooms announcement says Rooms is no longer available. Our old reports about that product are historical context, rather than instructions for starting a new room today.
This archive also has a report on Yahoo’s messaging service ending. A shared name does not make it the same app as the one tied to Facebook. Keep those names and dates distinct. For information-sharing choices, browse online privacy. Use the articles below to find the right Messenger task and the limits of the report you are reading.
