A private message in Facebook can not only be sent to friends, but also to other Facebook users and Facebook pages. Here's how it works.
Send a private Facebook message to friends
To send a private message to a Facebook friend or Facebook page, you have two options:
- Open your Facebook friend's profile and click on the »Send message« button (see screenshot) above the "pin board". A chat window will open at the bottom right and you can write your message. You can also send messages to Facebook pages in this way - but only if they allow it.
- Alternatively, you can simply enter the name of the person you want to send a private message to on the right-hand side of the Facebook chat. Your text will be sent even if it is currently offline.
Send private message to other Facebook users
You can also send private messages to Facebook users you are not friends with:
- Go to the person's profile and click on the "Send message" button above the "pin board" (see screenshot). A message window opens in which you can enter the text and then send it with a click on "Send".
