Do you want to set a unique moniker on Messenger for someone but hesitate due to the app's notification feature revealing the 'friendly name'? Is there a real solution for this?
Let's explore with Mytour if there is any solution to privately set a nickname on Messenger that the other person doesn't know about in the article below!
Usually, while messaging on Messenger, you can set a nickname for the other person or customize the color for each conversation through the pre-set features in the app. This adds vibrancy and color to the conversation. However, the app doesn't keep this 'secret' from the other person. It means that if you perform this action, the other person will also receive a notification about you changing their nickname. Moreover, the name of 'that person' in the chat frame will also change for both parties. This might cause inconvenience or even make users feel awkward when the other person receives a notification.
No worries, Mytour has an interesting trick for you, allowing you to secretly set a nickname for your Crush or even for someone you dislike. Enough talking, let's get to it!
How to secretly set a private nickname for the other person in Messenger conversation
To successfully pull off this trick, make sure to check if the Messenger app has been updated to the latest version using the link below to avoid any 'awkward moments' with the other person!
Note: I will guide you on an iPhone, for those of you using Android phones, you can follow the instructions similarly!
Step 1: First, access the Facebook Messenger app updated on your device and tap on the chat with the person you want to set a secret nickname.
Step 2: In the main chat frame, you tap on the name of the other person to access the additional information section of the conversation. Here, scroll down and tap on Block.
Step 3: Now, you need to disconnect all internet connections such as Wi-Fi/4G. Next, tap on Block messages and calls and then select Block to confirm with the app.
Step 4: After successfully blocking the other person, go back to the previous page by pressing the back arrow in the top left corner and scroll up to access the Nickname section.
Step 5: In the nickname window, set a nickname for the person as you like. Right after, re-enable the internet connection and press Save to save the nickname while the person is still blocked.
Step 6: Once the nickname is set, why wait? Unblock the person. In the conversation information window, you need to access Unblock. Then, select Unblock messages and calls and further select Unblock to confirm with the app.
Finally, here is our achievement. The other person will not receive any notifications about their nickname being changed by you.
Conclusion:
With this Messenger trick, you can freely set 'behind-the-scenes' nicknames for anyone you dislike. Not only that, I think from now on you can delightfully give your crush super cute nicknames that they will have no clue about. Isn't it fantastic! Wish you success!
