Most people don't usually chat on Facebook Messenger these days. However, they don't want to miss out on what's happening with their friends on Facebook. If you are also one of those people, here is good news. Now you can send messages to Facebook Messenger from the Instagram application itself.

Facebook acquired Instagram in 2012, but the two platforms were separate until now. This has changed with the introduction of the inter-app messaging feature. So now you ca
n message anyone on Facebook from Instagram or vice versa.

Steps To Send Messages To Facebook from Instagram
1] To get started, open the updated Instagram app on your iOS or Android device. You will see the Direct Message icon has now been replaced with a Messenger icon.
2] Tap on this new Messenger icon at the top right corner.
Now, in the search bar at the top, type the person’s name whom you want to chat on messenger.

3] When you start typing, the search results will appear below in two sections- people on Instagram and Facebook Friends.

4] Tap the person’s name if they appear under the Facebook Friends section or tap “See All” to see more search results.

5] When you tap a person’s name, you’ll see a prompt saying “You’re Messaging a Facebook Account.” and you can send a message and that person will also see a prompt.
Also, if you aren’t friends on Facebook, that person will need to “Accept” the message.
This feature works the same way if you message from Facebook Messenger to Instagram. On Messenger too, you will have to search for the Instagram profile and send the message when their name appears.
