hey everyone

as much as i love the 'lock messenger' feature, i have found one problem with it which i need help with- in the settings for the lock feature you can set a message to be sent automatically when messenger is locked and unlocked to all open conversattions... something i realised though is that these messages dont not appear as an 'auto message'  (unlike it would if it was a message set under a personalized status).

the reason i see this as a problem is that my contacts will not always believe that this 'messenger is locked' message is genuinely a auto message, as it looks asif ive just typed it straight into the converstation-

this is what a messenger locked message appears as....

       " Jacko says: Messenger has been locked "


insted of what a normal auto message should look like....

       " Jacko auto-message: Messenger has been locked "




is there any work-around for this, or does anyone know if in a future update this problem will be fixed?


thanks guys

I know this is a late reply but I want this improvement too. It will be very useful if Patchou adds it.

But currently there is a workaround for this. Just type AutoMessage: in front of the message you want to send to your open chats and it will appear as an auto-message for your contacts who have Messenger Plus!, and for others a message beginning with AutoMessage:.

I'm sure I could knock something like this up
