How and Why Ignore Messages on Messenger?

Facebook Messenger is convenient for communicating with Facebook friends. You can quickly get in touch with someone via chats or call them, including group calls.

Although Messenger is ideal for communication, sometimes you may get annoying people messaging you when they shouldn’t.

When such a scenario occurs, many people ignore these strangers by utilizing the ignore messages feature offered by Messenger.

When you decide to ignore someone, it’s your way of cutting them off, such that you won’t reply to their messages and won’t get notified about new activities, such as messages relating to this man.

Ignoring messages on Messenger is your way of avoiding conversations with someone without blocking or muting them on Messenger.

The messages you ignore will be moved to the “Message Request” section, and no notifications will be sent for new activities, such as messages relating to the conversation.

Here’s how to ignore messages on Messenger using a computer:

1. Open Messenger on your browser.
2. On the “Chats” window, locate the conversation you want to ignore.
3. Open the conversation and click the three dots icon to open the right sidebar menu.
4. Find the “Privacy and support” section and open it.
5. Click the option for “Ignore messages.”
6. Confirm by clicking “Ignore Messages” again.

A notification will appear stating that the message has been moved to “Spam.” That’s how you confirm that a message has been ignored on your Facebook Messenger.

You won’t get notified about any activities relating to the given conversation unless you decide to unignore it.

How To Undo Ignore Messages on the Messenger Mobile App

Ignored messages won’t appear in the main chat window. So, if you want to access an ignored message, your best chance is to unignore it, and that means you must reply to the particular message.

Once you respond to the ignored message, it will get moved from the “Spam” to your chat window.

Note that you must have an updated Facebook Messenger to follow along with the steps presented in this post.
