How To Unhide Chat In Messenger On iPhone And Android  

The process of unhiding chat in messenger on iPhone and Android is pretty the same. However, Facebook has two different message folders to deliver the messages of the people you do not know. First of all, there is a “Message Requests” folder to show you the messages of the people you are not connected as a Facebook friends. And secondly, if the message sender seems to be promoting spam or the messages send by those users look like spam, Facebook separates those messages in your spam inbox as does not put in the “Message Requests” folder. Here’s how to find the “Message Requests” and “Spam” messages on messenger for iPhone and Android:

• Tap on “Message Requests”. Now you will find two divided parts. The left side features the messages marked with “You May Know” and the messages of the other side with “Spam”. You can tap on both to see the messages. That’s how to unhide Facebook messenger chat on iPhone and Android devices.
• However, note that the sender of any messages that come in “Message Requests” will not know if you have seen his/her messages until you reply. So, you can either reply to the messages or delete those if you wish.

How to Unhide Facebook Messages on the Free Version of Facebook   If you are browsing from a place where you cannot smoothly use the web version of Facebook due to 2G connection or low data speed, you can also check your hidden messages from the free version of Facebook. Follow the steps given below to unhide Facebook Messages on the free Facebook version:  

• Open any browser like Opera, UC, Chrome, or Firefox.
• Go to the URL bar and type “free.facebook.com” on then press enter.
• On the top menu, find the “Messages” icon that usually appears right after the friend requests menu.
• Once you click on the “Messages” icon, you will see the regular messages. But, if you look below, you will see that there four links below the regular messages to let you find other messages that you cannot generally find on recent messages. Those are “View Message Requests”, “View Filtered Messages”, “View Archived Messages” and “View Spam Messages”. You can click individually to get into all of these and find the messages you do not find on your regular or recent messages option.
• Note that, Message Requests will cover the messages that are sent by those who are not on your friend list. Filtered Messages will cover those messages that you had muted previously. Archived messages will cover mostly the messages you archived because you didn’t want to engage in those messages.
• Thus, with the free version of Facebook, you can get access to all kinds of messages that are hidden from your recent or main message folder of your Facebook.

Things to Remember  

As Facebook brings people of all kinds together, it is not unusual for you that you might receive messages from people who are not connected to your Facebook with a bond of friendship. There might have some important messages for you on the message requests folder for you to read. That’s why you should often check your message requests. However, be careful when you accept the message requests and continue the chat by replying. There might be some people with malicious intent to harm you with links that contain malware and virus. We recommend you not to click on links sent by someone you do not know.   When it comes to spam messages, Facebook marks the messages as spam because there are enough reasons for Facebook to identify those as spam. You do not need to check spam.

Final Thoughts  
No matter what type of device you are using, you can always find your hidden messages whenever you want. We hope that this article has helped you know how to unhide Facebook messages from the messenger app, web version and free version of Facebook.
