After WhatsApp, Facebook Messenger is the second most used instant messaging app in the world, and it allows you to connect with all your friends on the great social network to be able to chat with them.

However, there are situations in which Facebook Messenger users prefer to have more privacy when reading messages or want to take their time to reply to them. Therefore, it is necessary to know the methods that allow us to read messages without our contacts knowing.

With the help of airplane mode
This way of not being seen by your contacts on Facebook Messenger is the most classic and known to all. To use it, you do not need to install any third-party application, just follow these steps:

If you have an Android mobile, you just have to slide the notification bar from top to bottom on the screen, to access the mode with the plane symbol
Click on airplane mode
Then, go to Facebook Messenger and read the messages you received
At the end, we just have to deactivate the airplane mode.
Read from notifications
Another quite obvious option, and that depends on whether or not we have the phone in our hands and at the right time, is to read the messages from the notifications. To apply this method in Facebook Messenger do the following:

Login to your Facebook Messenger account and select your profile icon
The next thing you have to do is click on notifications and sound
Now you must activate the button preview notifications
Finally, when they write you, you will see the message in the notifications of your phone.
