Reasons to Count Messages on Messenger
Why would someone want to count the number of messages they’ve exchanged with someone on Facebook Messenger or any other social media platform, for that matter?
Well, to begin with, perhaps this person might want to see the first message on Messenger and is wondering how long they will be scrolling for.
Regardless of the reason, wanting to count the number of messages in a chat is a legitimate concern.
Can You Count Messages on Messenger App?
Unfortunately, you can’t count number of messages on Messenger app. When you open a conversation, there’s no way for you to know how many messages you’ve sent to someone, particularly without counting them manually.
And if we’re talking about any conversation that stretches longer than 20 messages, we might as well acknowledge that manual counting will not solve this problem.
Can You Count Messages on Messenger Website?
In the older web version of Facebook Messenger, when you’d try to go back in a chat by scrolling up, you’d see a notification of Loading xyz+ messages.
This would give us the exact idea of how far we were from the first message. Do you think that still happens if you use Facebook Messenger on a computer?
If you log into Facebook on your web browser today, you’ll be surprised to see how much has changed. Today, even the browser version of Facebook has a separate messenger where all your chats are stored.
And when you open a chat here and scroll up, all you’ll see is the reloading arrow until you’re taken all the way back, without ever finding out the number of messages exchanged.
In other words, it’s clear to us that trying to count the number of messages on Facebook (without doing it manually) is no longer possible on both smartphones and web browsers.
So, what other alternatives do we have? Well, let’s find out.
How to Count Messages on Messenger (Messenger Message Counter)
