❓️ Unable to Send Messages in Messenger
If you're getting an error when trying to reply to a message in Messenger, it may be due to the message length. Here's how to fix it.
🎯 Who is this for?
Students who received a message from their school via Messenger of SpeedVisa and are trying to reply.
❓ Question:
I received a message from my school in Messenger, but when I try to reply, I get an error. Is this a system issue?
✅ Answer:
Most likely, the error is caused by your message being too long. Messenger has a character limit of 1,000 characters per message. If you go over this limit, the message cannot be sent.
📝 Additional Information:
The error message may not clearly mention that your message is too long, which can be confusing.
How to Proceed
-
Check the number of characters in your message.
-
If it is more than 1,000 characters, split it into two or more messages.
-
Make sure each message is under the 1,000-character limit.
Important Notes
-
The system is not malfunctioning — it is working as designed.
-
We are considering improving the error message to make this clearer.
💡 Tips
-
Try writing your message in a separate app (like Notes) to check the character count.
-
Shorten your message by removing unnecessary words or splitting long explanations.
