There can be so many reasons to see unseen messages on Facebook. Anyhow, this article will tell you 5 effective tips about how to read Facebook messages without seen.

Way 1: Turn Off Read Receipts to Read Facebook Messages Without Seen

The "read receipts" is the new feature of Facebook Messenger to allow users to read Facebook messages without the other person knowing.

Step 1. Open Messenger app and click on the three-line icon at the top left corner, then enter Settings.

Step 2. Locate Privacy & safety and click What people see option.

Step 3. Tap on Show read receipts and turn it off.

Way 2: Read Facebook Messages Without Seen from App Notification

Facebook Messenger has an option of Push Notification that sends the message to your notification bar each time you receive a message. This means that the message has already been stored on your phone memory whether you read it or not.

Those users who have already turned on the app notification for Messenger will be able to see the message on their phone"s notification screen. This feature is the best way of how to read Facebook Messenger messages without seen since you can see what the message is and who has sent it to you without opening the Messenger app.

Although this trick is only applicable if you want to read one user's message, it does not seem effective when you start receiving a large number of messages at the same time from different users. At this point, you would have no other option other than opening the Messenger app and reading them one by one.

The notification screen can only hold a certain number of messages, and multiple messages usually push the older messages out of the screen.
