How to Disable End to End Encryption on Messenger

Last Updated on By

End to end encryption on Messenger provides an additional layer of security to your calls as well as messages.

It protects your calls and messages when it moves to the receiver’s device.

In short, nobody can view or listen to what’s said or sent except you and the recipient.

This feature on FB messenger is called a secret conversation.

In some cases, you or the receiver might have begun a secret conversation by mistake.

In this article, I will guide you on how to turn off or disable end to end encryption on Messenger on Android/iPhone and chat normally.

Why does my Facebook Messenger say end-to-end encrypted?

Your Facebook Messenger says end-to-end encrypted due to the privacy of secret conversation.

It can say that when you or the receiver mistakenly or accidentally started a secret conversation.

A secret conversation is meant to provide protection to your calls and messages.

However, you are not allowed to report audio or video calls on FB messenger or Facebook chat.

How to disable end to end encryption on Messenger

To disable end to end encryption on Messenger, the only thing you need to do is to open a regular chat with the user.

To do that, you have to search the user on Facebook and go to their profile and tap on the “Message” button.

Here are the steps on how to do this:

  1. Go to the Facebook app and tap on the search icon.
  2. Find the user by searching it that you want to disable the end to end encryption with.
  3. To open a normal chat with them on Facebook messenger, tap on the “Message” button.
  4. Lastly, send them a message.

Editor’s note: I am telling you that after testing it and I was able to disable the encryption.

In some cases, you might see two chats on messenger with them.

One chat will be an end-to-end encrypted conversation while the other one is a regular conversation.

Once you tap on the “Message” button available on a user’s Facebook profile, the normal/regular chat will be open on Messenger.

How to Play the TikTok Marshmallow Game (One Marshmallow Check it Out)

Last Updated on By

Marshmallow game is the latest trend on TikTok, that is related to a memory and rhythm game.

If you want to play the game, you might not be familiar with the rules, length and strategy of it.

The game became popular due to TikToker Marianne Infante and Tatum Warren-Ngata.

Marianne is a Filipino New Zealander who was born in the Philippines and Aotearoa.

In this article, I will guide you on how to play the TikTok marshmallow game challenge, also known as one marshmallow check it out woo.

How to Play the TikTok Marshmallow Game

To play the TikTok Marshmallow game, you need 2 players and both of them should create a rhythm and it can be done by smacking their hands on a table while following a sequence of words.

The words that players they need to say include “x Marshmallow” (for instance, One Marshmallow), “Check it out”, and “Woo”.

The main task of the game is to make as many Marshmallows as possible (for instance, nine Marshmallow) without breaking the sequence.

Here is the right sequence to play it:

  • Player 1: One Marshmallow.
  • Player 2: Check it out.
  • Player 1: Woo!
  • Player 2: Two Marshmallow.
  • Player 1: Two Marshmallow.
  • Player 2: Check it out.
  • Player 1: Check it out.
  • Player 2: Woo!
  • Player 1: Woo!
  • Player 2: Three Marshmallow.
  • Player 1: Three Marshmallow.
  • Player 2: Three Marshmallow.
  • Player 1: Check it out.
  • Player 2: Check it out.
  • Player 1: Check it out.
  • Player 2: Woo!
  • Player 1: Woo!
  • Player 2: Woo!
  • Player 1: Four Marshmallow.
  • Player 2: Four Marshmallow.
  • Player 1: Four Marshmallow.
  • Player 2: Four Marshmallow.
  • Player 1: Check it out.
  • Player 2: Check it out.
  • Player 1: Check it out.
  • Player 2: Check it out.
  • Player 1: Woo!
  • Player 2: Woo!
  • Player 1: Woo!
  • Player 2: Woo!
  • Etc., etc., etc.,

By following the given sequence above, players have to say each phrase until it matches the number of marshmallows.

For instance, if it shows “Four Marshmallow”, player 1 and player 2 have to say “Four Marshmallow” twice so that it combines to 4 marshmallows.

Additionally, player 1 and player 2 need to say “Check it out” after that, “Woo!” twice in order to say it four times in total.

Note: You can also add more than 2 players to play the game, but all of the players need to follow the same procedure as well as sequence (for instance, player 1: “One Marshmallow”, player 2 “Check it out”, player 3 “Woo!”).

How to Fix “No messages new messages will appear here” on Messenger

Last Updated on By

Do your Facebook Marketplace messages not appear on Messenger?

If yes, you will be restricted from chatting with the buyer or seller.

You can use Facebook Marketplace to discover, buy, and sell items.

It helps you to find the products in your area or find items that are available for shipping.

Businesses are allowed to show their inventory for retail items, home rentals, vehicles and so on.

You can also advertise your items if you do not want to post them on the marketplace.

In this article, I will guide you on how to fix “No messages new messages will appear here” on Facebook Messenger.

Why does Messenger say “No messages”?

Messenger says “No messages” because you have not got any messages until now.

In some cases, you might have archived your chat by mistake after marking your marketplace item as sold.

Or FB Messenger’s servers are down or there’s a bug/glitch on the app.

Some Messenger updates also interfere with the location of the Marketplace chat.

The best place to access it is through your “Chats” under “Marketplace”.

Some users can access the marketplace by simply tapping on their profile picture > Marketplace.

Update on 26th September 2023, many users reported that they are not able to view their messages on Messenger because of an outage.

How to fix “No messages new messages will appear here” on Messenger

To fix “No messages new messages will appear here” on Messenger, the first step is to check your archived chats, allow others on Facebook to message you or reinstall Messenger after removing it.

If everything is not working, the last resort is to use the Facebook app to check your Marketplace messages rather than Messenger.

If you have recently moved Messenger to a newest version, the Marketplace chat might have moved.

It will be either available in your chats or in the menu under “Marketplace”.

In some conditions, it may be down, so you need to visit this link to check the Messenger’s status: downdetector.com/status/facebook-messenger.

If you come across a spike in the graph, it says that Messenger is down and you can do nothing about it except wait.

Solution 1: Check your archived chats

  1. Go to Facebook Messenger.
  2. After that, tap on your profile picture.
  3. Select “Archived chats”.
  4. Lastly, find your Facebook Marketplace chat.

Solution 2: Allow others on Facebook to message you

  1. Go to Facebook Messenger.
  2. After that, tap on your profile picture.
  3. Follow these steps: Select Privacy & safety > Message delivery > Others on Facebook.

  3. Search for Messenger and install it again.
  4. Go to Messenger and log in to your Facebook account.
  5. Check if your Marketplace messages are visible (it should be available now).

Note: Reinstalling Messenger will sign out all of your accounts (so, you need to sign in again to them), but all of your chats will remain safe in the database of Facebook.

Solution 4: Use the Facebook app rather than Desktop

  1. Go to the Facebook app.
  2. Follow these steps: select Marketplace > Profile icon > Inbox.
  3. Select “Selling” or “Buying” (depending on the chat that you want to open).
  4. Go to the chat that you want to see and open it.
