When you send a message to someone on Facebook, the message goes to their Inbox. If the person you’re messaging is not your Facebook friend, your message will go to their Message Requests folder.
The Message Requests folder is a place where Facebook stores messages from people who are not Facebook friends with the person they’re messaging. This folder is separate from the Inbox, and the person you’re messaging will not know you sent them a message unless they check their Message Requests folder.
You can send a message to someone on Facebook even if you’re not friends with them. However, your message will go to their Message Requests folder, and they will not know you sent them a message unless they check their Message Requests folder.

What happens when you accept a message request?
When you accept a message request, the other person can see your profile and chat with you.
What happens if I decline a message request on Facebook?
When you get a message request on Facebook, the person sending the request can see that you’ve either seen or ignored their request. If you ignore a message request, the person can see that you’ve ignored their request and may not send any more messages.
How do message requests appear on Messenger?
When you send a message to someone on Facebook Messenger, the message goes through a few different steps before it’s delivered to the other person. In this article, we’ll discuss how message requests appear on Messenger and how they’re delivered to the recipient.
When you send a message to someone, their Facebook account will first check to see if they’re online. If the recipient is online, the message will be delivered to them immediately. If the recipient is offline, the message will be stored in a queue and will be delivered to them when they next log in to Facebook.
If the recipient has enabled the “Message Requests” setting on their account, any messages that aren’t delivered immediately will be stored in a separate queue and will be delivered to the recipient as a message request. The recipient will be notified of the message request and will be able to view the message either in the Facebook app or on the website.
If the recipient hasn’t enabled the “Message Requests” setting, the message will be delivered to their Inbox as a regular message.
That’s how message requests appear on Messenger and how they’re delivered to the recipient. Thanks for reading!
How do you know if someone read your message request on Facebook?
If you’ve ever sent a message request to a Facebook friend and been curious if they actually read it, there’s a way to find out.
When you send a message request, the recipient has three options: they can either ignore the request, they can approve the request, or they can read the request and not respond.
If the recipient ignores the request, you’ll see a notification that says “The person you requested to message isn’t responding.”
If the recipient approves the request, you’ll see a notification that says “The person you requested to message has approved your request.”
If the recipient reads the request but doesn’t respond, you won’t see any notification. However, if you open the Facebook Messenger app and look at the conversation thread between you and the recipient, you’ll see a small grey circle next to the message. This grey circle means that the recipient has read the message but hasn’t responded.
How do I know if my message request was ignored?
It can be frustrating when you send a message to someone and don’t receive a response. You may wonder if your message was ignored.
There are a few ways to tell if your message was ignored. The most obvious way is if the other person doesn’t respond at all. If you send a message and the other person doesn’t respond within a reasonable amount of time, it’s safe to assume that they ignored your message.
Another way to tell if your message was ignored is if the other person responds to a different message or if they respond to your message but don’t actually address what you said. This could mean that they didn’t actually read your message or that they didn’t have anything to add.
If you’re worried that your message was ignored, you can always try sending the person a different message or reach out to them in a different way. If the other person still doesn’t respond, it’s likely that they ignored your message.
Do people know when you accept their message request?
Do people know when you accept their message request?
Most people assume that when they send a message to someone, the other person will know right away that they have sent a message. However, this is not always the case. In some instances, the other person may not know that you have accepted their message request until they check their notifications.
This can be especially true if the other person is using a mobile device. In some cases, the notifications for messages may not be displayed until after the other person has closed the app. As a result, it is important to be aware that the other person may not know that you have accepted their message request until they check their notifications.
Can I read a message request without accepting?
There may be times when you don’t want to accept a message request but you still want to be able to read it. In this case, you can read the message request without accepting it.
When you receive a message request, you’ll see a notification at the top of your screen. If you don’t want to accept the request, you can swipe it to the left and it will disappear. This will allow you to read the message without accepting it.
If you do want to accept the request, just swipe it to the right and it will be added to your messages.
