How to send a message to someone that you have not added as friend on Facebook using Opera mini
You will
agree with me that Facebook allow one to send message(s) to even people that
have not been added as friends to your friends list when accessing Facebook on
any platform or with any device.
But if you are very observant, just recently not even up to two days ago and mostly for those that access Facebook with opera mini on their mobile device, you will notice that when you either search for a particular person or click on a person’s name that you have not yet added as friend, normally what you should see when you do that are the Add friend and the message tab, and in some cases you see the Add friend and follow tab, but now when you click on the person’s name with your opera mini, the only thing you see is the Add friend tab without the message nor the follow tab as can be seen in the image below.

It might as
well be a bug from opera mini or Facebook and could be fixed later just as we
could recall the issue of the view previous comment that was recently fixed.
When I first
noticed this current problem yesterday, I thought that Facebook has blocked me
from sending message(s) to people that I have not added as friend.
But as
someone who knows the dos and don’ts of Facebook and someone who always adhere strictly
to the terms of service of every online program that I am participation on, I
was sceptical to believe that Facebook really blocked me from sending out
message and owing to the fact that I know that I have not done anything wrong,
I quickly headed to my laptop, logged into my Facebook account, checked some
members of some of my Facebook communities that I am not yet friends with, I found
out that everything was alright and that I can see the Add friend and message
tab there, it was then I cleared my doubt and now know that the problem was
associated mostly with opera mini, because I tried out other device too and
everything was in order.
Regardless
of whether it is a bug or not, I know that sometimes for one reason or the
other we may want to send out message(s) to some persons on Facebook without
having to add them as friend first.
If you are using opera mini and already encountered such problem, and you really want to send your message across to that very person, just follow the simple steps below to send your message as usual;
If you are using opera mini and already encountered such problem, and you really want to send your message across to that very person, just follow the simple steps below to send your message as usual;
= => locate
the person that you want to send the message to. Note that you have not yet
added the person as friend and remember that whenever you are accessing
Facebook on mobile device, you are always served the mobile version of Facebook
that begins with the following URL https://m.facebook.com/..............
= =>
click on the person’s name link and you will only see the add friend tab. From here, just head up to the URL that will begin
with the one in the step above and change the first m to touch and you
should have something that begins like this https://touch.facebook.com/............ Then
send it or hit go to load.
After
loading, you should now see the Add
friend tab together with the message
tab. You can now go ahead to select the message tab and type and send your
message.
Remember for some people that have maybe set up their account not to receive direct message from strangers, for such you will see the Add friend tab and the follow tab only.
