Part 1: Using the mobile browser to send Facebook message without Messenger

This is the next best option to sending a Facebook message urgently without Facebook Messenger. As Facebook is trying very hard to direct users to the Messenger app, they’re not making it any easier for their mobile web browser users as well.

The experience of using Facebook on a mobile browser is far from seamless and you will have to patiently await each and every webpage to load. However if accessing your messages is that urgent, here’s how to do so on a mobile browser:

1. Open your browser and go to Facebook’s website.
2. Across the top of your timeline you’ll find all the regular options such as Friends, Conversations, etc. Choose ‘Conversations.’.
3. You’ll immediately be led to Google Play Store and you’ll be asked to download Messenger.

1. Now you’ll have to go to the ‘Recent Apps’ section, it’s a square beside the home button in Android. If you use iOS, then you can simply press the Home button and return to your Facebook browser window.
2. You’ll again find the message stating that Messenger is moving. You can simply hit the ‘x’ and make the annoying message go away.

1. Now you’re back where you started, at the Conversation page. Tap on the person or conversation you wish to engage in. But now you’ll be taken to Google Play Store again.
2. You’ll again have to repeat Step. 4, and you’ll find yourself back in the Conversation page and you’ll finally be able to send out a message.

However, you have to keep in mind that in order for this method to work you can’t have the Messenger app installed on your phone, if you do you’ll be led back to the Messenger app over and over again.

Part 2: Using the PC Web browser to send Facebook message without Messenger

For a smoother Messaging experience on a browser, you can fire up your PC. Luckily enough, Facebook avails all of its services to its PC users so there is no hassle involved at all. Here’s how you go about it:

1. 1. Open your browser and go to Facebook’s website.
   2. After logging in to your account, you should see the Messages button at the top right on the menu bar.

When you click it, it takes you directly to your messages where it shows you recent conversations.

1. Just click on a contact and message away.

Part 3: Using the Facebook SMS Service to send Facebook message without Messenger
