Send Message to Facebook User
This dialog box has just two fields for you to fill out: a To field as well as a message box where you type the message of your message. If you're made use of to utilizing email, this might strike you as a little weird due to the fact that it does not have a Cc, Bcc, or subject line.

With the exception of work messages, the majority of our emails are sent to our partners as well as our good friends. Given that Facebook is all about good friends, you're not most likely to call for that subject line.
To address your message, merely begin keying the name of the pal you're messaging into the To field. Facebook autocompletes with the names of your friends as you kind. When you see the name you want, highlight it as well as click or push Go into. You can kind greater than one name if you intend to have a conversation with more than someone at the same time.
You can send out a message to individuals's e-mail addresses if they aren't yet on Facebook (although if they aren't yet, it's absolutely their loss). Simply type the complete e-mail address right into the To area. Separate several email addresses with commas.
Kind your message into the message box. Messages can be long or brief, silly or serious-- whatever you need to state. If you want to add a web link to a site or article to a message, you can copy as well as paste it right into the message box. Facebook after that produces a preview of the post so your friend has even more info before clicking the link.
This is really comparable to the means the Share box functions when you include a web link to a message or status upgrade, other than rather than sharing the link with all your pals, you're sharing it with simply the people you're messaging.
2 icons underneath the message box stand for attributes that are completely optional and rarely made use of, however just in case, here's what they are:
- Include Documents: High As it does in many e-mail programs, the paperclip symbol symbolizes attaching data to a message. Clicking the icon opens a user interface for browsing as well as selecting documents from your computer's hard disk. You can affix images, videos, documents, and more.
- Add Photos: Though you can affix images by clicking the Add Documents button, if you desire Facebook to generate a preview of them for your designated recipients (rather than needing to download and then open them) utilize the Add Photos button. This will certainly once more open a user interface for looking as well as picking pictures from your computer system's hard drive.
When you're done composing your message, simply click Send and be on your method. Your friends will certainly get the email in their Facebook Messages Inbox, as well as Facebook alerts them with a little warning on their Home page. Depending upon their account setups, they might likewise receive an e-mail in their e-mail Inbox letting them find out about a message in their Facebook Inbox (yes, it's a little repetitive).
