Messenger has become one of the most used messaging apps worldwide. This causes us to receive tons of messages on a daily basis that are sometimes overwhelming and we do not have time to reply to everyone when we receive them. However, in the case of reading said messages received through Messenger, we have to remember to respond to them, especially if we do not want to be wrong with the sender.
