If someone can message you on Messenger but you can’t see their profile, they may have a Facebook account that’s deactivated or set to a very private setting. Messaging is separate from a Facebook profile; thus, a person can still reach out to you via Messenger even if their profile is hidden or removed.

FAQs & Answers

  1. Why can I receive messages from a Facebook user but not view their profile? The user may have deactivated their Facebook account or set their profile to very private, which hides it from public view while still allowing Messenger communication.
