"secret conversation" on messenger

3 replies

User24689 · 29/04/2020 22:26

Hi all. Just went on my messenger app to reply to a message from a friend from earlier and at the top of the list of messages was one marked 'secret conversation'. It was with a man who I am not friends with, but is known to me.

When I clicked on the message there was no actual message there. If we pretend his name is Bob Jones, it just said 'Bob Jones added two devices' and underneath 'upthewolves added one device'.

I deleted it. I am concerned because this guy is someone who has been abusive to my best friend in the past. I met him a few times when they were together, which was years ago now.

Does anyone know about or has anyone used this FB feature? What I would like to know is whether he could have accidentally set this conversation up while FB stalking me. Or whether he would have to have set it up deliberately, with the intention of messaging me.

Thanks!

You send messages through it that disappear after a certain amount of time after the recipient has read them

If say with the intention of messaging you. You have to go on messenger and click on secret conversation .

Although it sounds like he didn't actually send a message

Hmm thanks.

Just looking at it I can see in the options on my current friends I can 'go to secret conversation' but can't see how I would do it with someone I never messaged before.

Guess I'll leave it now I've deleted it and see if he tries again.
