Using Facebook Messenger on a Phone or Tablet
Open Facebook Messenger. It’s the blue chat bubble icon with a white lightning bolt on one of your Home screens or in the app drawer.
Select a contact. Tap the name of the person to whom you want to send the file. This opens a chat with that person. You can find recent contacts by tapping Chats, or start a new chat by tapping the edit icon.
Send an image. If you want to send a photo from your camera roll, tap the icon that looks like a mountain with a moon on a square background, then tap a photo to select it. Using mobile, you can only send images from your camera roll; not files.
