Anyone can message you on Messenger if your privacy settings allow it. To control who can send you messages, navigate to the Messenger app's privacy settings. Here, you can adjust who can contact you directly, whose messages get filtered into requests, and who can't message you at all. For tighter control, restrict message requests to friends of friends or only friends. It's also possible to block specific users entirely if needed. Reviewing and adjusting these settings regularly can help manage who can reach out to you on Messenger.
