Here’s how you can see a Facebook message without sending the seen notification. This can be useful if you want to quickly read a message without opening the chat. The method is very simple and, at the moment, works on an iPhone.

Simply open Messenger and long-tap the message you want to see. A preview of the message will appear without opening the chat, so you can read what was sent while keeping the message marked as unread.

The new message count remains unchanged even after viewing the preview. So, if you want to read Facebook messages without immediately sending the seen notification, please do try this method.

Thank you very much.
