Semalt: How To Block Annoying Ads In Facebook Messenger

Facebook recently updated the Messenger, allowing brands and companies to send their advertisements disguised as messages. Facebook Messenger is a distinguished instant messaging service and software that was originally developed as Facebook Chat in 2008. Later on, the company decided to revamp its service and released a number of Android and iOS applications in 2011.

With time, Facebook has released a large number of operating systems and separated its messaging functionality from the major Facebook app, allowing the users to use its web interface or download the standalone applications.

With Facebook Messenger, you can easily send messages, exchange videos, audio les, pictures, and react to the messages of other users. This service supports video and voice calling too, and the standalone applications support using different accounts, communication with optional end-to-end encryption, as well as playing video games online.

You will normally see Facebook pages and like your favorite brands' pages in no time. You remain updated with the latest products and services they offer. You sometimes want to communicate with them via Facebook Messenger and have some questions or complaints in your mind. For instance, if you ordered a speci c product from a Facebook store and had some issues with its quality, you can easily talk to the manager of the company.

Igor Gamanenko, a leading expert from Semalt Digital Services, elaborates here on how to block irritating ads in Facebook Messenger.

Using this social media app, it is straightforward to communicate with the retailers. Unfortunately, using Facebook Messenger to reach out to the company will get you lots of ads you had not hoped for. In the Messenger's update section, the social media site inform advertisers that they are free to create lots of News Feed ads that will open in the conversation section of Messenger. So, if you click on any of those ads, you will be contacted by the brand in Messenger directly in future, and all this is quite irritating.

Luckily, the Facebook Messenger users can quickly delete or block the troublesome "advert messages." But that is not the ultimate solution as you will see lots of new ads from different brands in coming months. Even when you don't click on their links and don't begin a conversation with the representatives of those brands, they might contact you directly and will urge you to buy their products.

It is, however, possible to block annoying ads in the Facebook Messenger. You just need to follow these instructions to get rid of all of those stupid advertisements and the annoying social media pages.

On Your Tablet or Phone: If you are using a tablet or a phone, you should go to the retailer's Facebook page and choose the Message option.

Then you have to select the Manage option from the right side and click on the Manage Messages button. Here you should clock the Block All Messages button and that retailer will never contact you.

On Your Desktop or Laptop: If you are using a personal computer or laptop, you should go to the page of that retailer and choose the Message option. A chat window will open where you have to choose the Options icon from the right side of the window. Here you have to select the Block Messages option from the drop-down menu.

Then you can con rm the message and save your settings.

Try Calling Them: If you want to reconnect with them in future, you can call their phone number. Make sure you have saved the phone numbers of all brands whose pages you want to block. We hope that their unwanted and irritating ads will not create a mess for you in future.
