Why can’t I see the reminder feature on Messenger?
If you don’t see the reminder feature on Messenger, it could be because Facebook is testing new features or updates. The reminder feature may not be available in your region or device yet.
However, if you cannot see the reminder feature for a long time, you can try updating your Messenger app to the latest version available on your device’s app store.
You can also check if you have the latest version of the Facebook app installed on your device since both apps are interconnected.
If the reminder feature is still not available after the update, you can try logging out and logging back into your account or even uninstalling and reinstalling the Messenger app.
If none of these solutions work, please contact Facebook’s support team for further assistance.
