Can I send messages even if I only have free data on Facebook?
Unfortunately, people cannot utilize this feature if they are only using the Free Data (Facebook) feature of telephone providers. However, there are promos that give you free Facebook; with that free Facebook, you can as well view Facebook photos, videos, send photos and videos, even GIFs on messenger.
Even though we are told that we cannot send GIFs on Free Data, there were instances where I tried sending a couple of friends some photos on messenger and it worked even if I am just on Free Data. The whole point is, you try it and if it works, then good for you.
