ipad -facebook messages no alert?

[steveo3002]

mrs uses an ipad for looking at facebook , noticed if a non friend like a marketplace seller messages her theres no alert or sign that theyve messaged

log in on a laptop and you can see them

any ideas please

I've got similar and I can't see any options for changing it.

I've come to the conclusion, it's Facebook's way of trying to get you to use their Messenger app.
