Frequently Asked Questions

What are the latest file sharing features on Facebook Messenger?

As of April 2024, Meta has introduced several new features to Facebook Messenger. Users can now send photos in HD quality by toggling an 'HD' button before sending. The file size limit for sharing has been significantly increased to 100MB, making it easier to share presentations and other large files. Additionally, users in group chats can now create and manage shared albums where everyone can view, add, or delete content.

Can Facebook Messenger messages be used as evidence in Philippine courts?

Yes. In a ruling publicized in June 2022, the Supreme Court of the Philippines stated that photos and messages from Facebook Messenger obtained by private individuals are admissible as evidence in court. The Court ruled that by giving someone access to their account (like a password), a user loses a reasonable expectation of privacy over the account's contents to those granted access.

Is Facebook Messenger still available on the Apple Watch?

No. Meta revealed that the Facebook Messenger app would no longer be available on the Apple Watch as of the end of May 2023 (with some reports indicating early June). After its removal, users could still receive Messenger notifications on their Apple Watch but could no longer read or respond to messages directly from the watch app.
