How To Request Money On Facebook Using The Facebook Messenger App

Do you remember when Facebook Messenger became two different platforms? Several users, including me, were not happy about it. No one understood why we had to switch to a different app to chat with a Facebook friend. Fast forward till now, Facebook has shown that it has a bigger plan for Messenger.

Nowadays, Facebook Messenger does not just provide voice calls, chatbots, chess games and so on, it takes care of mobile payments as well. Your Facebook Messenger application can be used to send and receive cash, the same way it is done with Paypal.

Luckily for you, Facebook Messenger has an important tool that allows you to request the cash from your friend directly, so they don’t have to play hide and seek anymore.
