We need to know what happens to our Messenger calls. Today’s article will cover why Messenger calls may appear on your call logs.
Do Messenger Calls Appear on Call Logs?
Facebook Messenger is a great way to get in touch with family or friends. The calls are free. You only need data to call or receive a call. Ideally, your Messenger calls should not appear on your call log (depending on the opinion, of course). But Messenger has some privacy issues, like logging your calls and texts. We’ve seen countless reports of people complaining about seeing calls they make or receive via Messenger on their call logs. Messenger has no relationship with your call register. Therefore, you shouldn’t be seeing Messenger calls on your call log. However, you may see Messenger’s outgoing and incoming calls on your log if you let Messenger access your contact list.
