What does Bump mean on Messenger?
If you’re wondering what Bump is on Messenger, it’s a feature that allows you to quickly remind a previously sent message without having to reply.
This is very beneficial when you are participating in a normal or secret conversation on Facebook Messenger and the person you are chatting with misses one or more messages from you. So, bringing a direct message to the top of the conversation.
In that case, you can simply use Bumping to mention the message and don’t need to copy and paste it.
This feature saves time and provides an easier and faster way to reply to previously sent messages. But how can that person see the corrupted message in Messenger? Let’s find out.
How do I send messages on Messenger?
To be precise, when you use Bump on Messenger, the text using Bump will appear at the top of the conversation. However, you need to make sure that the app is updated to the latest version as this feature was recently added to the app.
Note
You can’t send messages on desktop because this feature is only available for mobile phones.
So, to send corrupted text or photos, follow these steps:
- Open the Facebook Messenger app on your phone.
- Touch and hold the text or image you want to Bump.
- Now tap “More,” which is now the last option at the bottom.
- From the list of options, tap Bump.
- The selected text will then be Bumped and sent to the inbox. You may even see the words “You sent your message by mistake” written right above the text.
That’s it, now you will be able to Bump any text or image you want! This feature also works well when using Facebook Messenger for business. For example, when you are communicating with a customer and need to remind them of something during the conversation, touch can be very beneficial.
So, after getting answers about what it means to send messages on Messenger, it’s time to find out if you can send all types of messages.
What are the types of messages that you cannot send?
Facebook Messenger is full of features and has no limits on sending text and sharing photos. With in-app enhancements, you can even view unsent messages on Messenger, create polls, share location details, etc.
So even if you know what’s messing up your messages on Messenger, you should note that you can’t Bump all types of messages.
While text messages, videos, photos, and attachments can be saved, you can’t save missed calls, polls, or shared locations. Furthermore, if the chat is end-to-end encrypted (i.e. Vanish mode on Messenger is enabled), acceleration will not work.
What to do if Bump doesn’t show up on Messenger?
Users often complain that they don’t see the Bump feature when texting, and most say Facebook Messenger doesn’t work.
However, that is not the only cause. If you don’t see this feature on your Messenger app, the only solution you have is to update it to the latest version. And you can update the app from Play Store or App Store.
Even if the Bump feature is still not found, you still have to delete the app’s cache files and restart your device.
Other meanings of ‘BUMP’ on Facebook
In addition to the meaning of the error message on Messenger, you may see people commenting “BUMP” on some posts on Facebook groups. Here, it means “Put my post up”, originating from when people often interacted with each other on forums. This practice has now been transferred to social media applications such as Facebook.
So whenever someone comments BUMP on a FB post, it means they want their post to appear at the top of the group’s feed. Hence, it keeps the discussion lively and the interaction better.
