Facebook users will know that the main Facebook platform and Facebook Messenger are operated via two different apps. Despite both being intrinsically linked in terms of connection, contacts, and the account that connects the two, the fact that they are different apps means that you can browse one without the other.
But what about if you don’t have the Messenger app? Can you still check and send messages?
Accessing Facebook Messages Without Messenger
The design and layout of the Facebook app means that you cannot check or read messages on the main app. Rather, you have to download Messenger in order to check your messages.
However, the app is not the only portal available for accessing your Facebook contacts.
If you don’t have or don’t want to use the Messenger app, then you can log into Facebook via the web browser on your device instead. When you browse Facebook online via the main platform website, you will find that messages are kept within a tab on the main site.
So, if you want to check, read, and send messages on Facebook without the need for a separate app, the best thing to do is to visit Facebook.com and browse from there.
We hope this helps!
