Facebook

Can I ask if you send someone a message on facebook, do you have to be friends with that person for them to be able to see the message. If you know what I mean. And how come some people don't have an add friend button on their Facebook

Some people accept messages from friends only & some from anyone- its in the settings...

If they dont have an add friend option it might be because it is just a "like" page x

Think it goes into 'Others folder' really hard to find if you use the app version. There is no notice saying you have a message if they aren't on your friends list. Had to get one of my kids to find it for me, I had quite a few messages from people that I'm not friends with but who know me.
Don't know about add a friend, I'm slowly learning.

If there is no add friend button, its because they have set controls on who can ask to be their friend. If you are both members of a group then you can put a note on the page saying that you have messaged them or can ask someone who is their friend to tell them that you have messaged them. I often miss messages from non friends because I forget to look for them.

Points to note:

1. It appears to be silent (so don't panic when you don't hear any sound); and

2. You'll probably need to click the 'full screen' icon, at the bottom right, to be able to see what's going on
