I've been submitting a couple of bugs that are being found by me in the User's Messengers or a Facebook Pages's inbox, the tricky thing from the team is the bugs are not at all getting accepted just because of COVID.
One of bugs in my previous post was about the Setting emoji but it was reported as duplicated just because they were already aware or they don't want to get the user's paid and escape the payments as the U.S is already in Depression and because of leadership 😜
Let's get into the bug details..
For users it is normal for setting nicknames for the friends who are in their chat list.
But for Facebook Pages the option doesn't appear.
There is actually no UI for setting the Names for the FB Page.
All the options that appear for the Messenger for a normal user are:
- Setting Emoji
- Setting Nick Name
- Setting Theme
There are different roles for Facebook Pages : Admin, Editor, Moderator who could access the Page's Inbox.
The HTTP Request that is used for settings the nickname for a user is:
POST /messaging/save_thread_nickname/?source=thread_settings HTTP/1.1

There are 3 parameters. Once is
requested_user_id
thread_user_id
participant_id
The requested_user_id will be the person who is setting the nickname
thread_user_id will be the other person for whom the name is being set.
participant_id is also the same as the above.
First thought, lets change the requested_user_id to the Page name.
The response was "Content not available"
Second thought, thread_user_id to the Facebook Page. annnnd.... Yes.. I worked. I could set the nick name for a Page.
There appeared a UI in the messenger that says something shown in the image below.
Lets change the participant_id to something new like an Unpublished page, or secret group.
But in the UI of the messenger or the Page's inbox it appeared as
participant in the place of the Secret Group or Unpublished page.
I submitted a report saying that a nick name could be set and here's in one more annoying reply
