So that is your primary message inbox in the basic version. You can easily view a conversation by clicking on the person’s name. The other thing you can do is send likes, and stickers, add photos, and refresh the conversation.
How to Find/View Message Requests
If someone is not connected with you on Facebook and send you a message. Facebook automatically saves those kinda messages in a hidden inbox called Message Requests. It is a great feature when you are using the standard Messenger version. However, Facebook allows seeing your message requests in the basic version as well.
To find and view Message Requests:
- Go Mbasic Facebook.
- Click on Messages at the top.
- Scroll down to the very bottom of the messages page.
- Click on View Message Requests.
- There are all of the Message Requests sent to you by strangers.
Now the choice is your either reply to a message request to accept or leave it as it is. Moreover, if you read the message no one will know that you have read it until you reply.
How to Ignore and Unignore Messages
This is one of my favorite features to ignore and undo ignore messages on Facebook Messenger. It is a great way to stop gettings messages notifications from annoying FB friends. Moreover, thanks to Facebook for adding the feature to the basic version of FB. Today I will show to ignore messages on Mbasic FB and then undo or unignore messages.

- Go to the Mbasic Facebook version and click on Messages.

- Scroll down to the bottom of the conversation.
- Click Ignore Messages.
- On the confirmation click Ignore Messages and you are good to go.
So that is how you may ignore a conversation or specific chat notification from an annoying person on Facebook. My bonus tip for you is never to block someone on Facebook because blocking is totally unfriending a person. So it is better to avoid their messages instead of blocking them. Now that you have successfully ignored a conversation, the question is how to undo those messages/conversations. Well, let’s find out.
