just don't click on any sus URL. Hackers can do a URL that looks almost exactly the same with normal URL, but you will see the different
 
I think this is unlikely to happen, just be careful with off-topic links.
 
Normally and naturally, it is not easy to hack FB message content. Avoid clicking on unknown links or providing verification code information to strangers, otherwise there will be no problem.

Pretty safe, but there is software out there that can activate things in your computer when sending notis for you to open. But for that to happend they will need your IP and a virus already connected. I remember a software in github i cant remember the name, image tried it out just for fun on myself. It was crazy but as soon as i closed down the screen/notification i sended to myself in another computer i was unable to go through any more information.

But overall yes its safe
 
Messages containing malicious links (phishing): This is the most common risk. An attacker sends a message that appears to come from a trusted source (friend, Facebook, bank, etc.) and contains a link. When you click on this link, you may be redirected to a fake website where you are asked to enter your login credentials (username, password) or other personal information.
 
Facebook provides strong security measures like two-factor authentication, but clicking on suspicious links in messages could be malware. Always be cautious with unverified sources.
 
if u don't click on phishing links there is almost no risk at all, but there is a chance of getting trapped with social engineering.
 
So many told you not to click any links but with how updated browsers are nowadays there is near zero chance that you'll get hacked by executing some JS on some website.

Links are not dangerous at all, it is what you do yourself after you already visited the website.
 
I have never seen a case of being hacked by opening a message. Hackers usually send you a link, when you click on it they will control your device.

Unless you click on malicious information or high-risk links, there's nothing to worry about.
 
To ensure the security of messages, you can add security measures when requesting to view messages, and absolutely do not click on strange links.

Yes, you can be hacked if you open a message containing a malicious link. Facebook has protections in place like link scanning, dangerous content warnings, and two-factor authentication for added security.
