Facebook help

Is there a way on Facebook to send a message to more than one person at a time? I hit message, and it allows you to put in names one by one, but isn't there a way to get the names in without having to type in each one? You'd think there'd be a drop-down menu of all your friends and you can just click the ones you want to send it to. But if there is, I'm bamboozled as how to do it.

Thanks.

Peace of the Lord be with you.

Sorry Rev, I think that may be the only way to do it...unless you were to make a "group" of all of the people you want to send to, but then that would be a hassle because FB then sets up an entire page for this group. Too bad you can't just pick the friends like you said...it would be easier to not miss someone when sending a mass group message!

...unless I am just not finding it like you.

I have no idea and unfortunately there are very few 14 year olds on the forum to ask. I know the only way I am able to learn anything on FB is by asking my kids. Little turds think it's hilarious too.

I think that by putting an ";" then typing the next name you'd like to send the message to will work...not sure though...haven't sent out mass FB messages since my fraternity party days...good times

You can create a specific group and send the message to that particular group, if I'm not mistaken. Since I only have access on my phone right now, I couldn't help you as to the specifics of setting up a group.
