Custom Url to Launch Facebook Messenger on iOS

Custom URL to launch Facebook Messenger on iOS

sample ,It's work for me in ios

let msgUrl = URL(string: "http://m.me/{PAGE_NAME}")
UIApplication.shared.openURL(msgUrl)

reference in document of dev facebook : https://developers.facebook.com/docs/messenger-platform/discovery/m-me-links/

What are all the custom URL schemes supported by the Facebook iPhone app?

April 2013 EDIT : Looks like none of below works anymore with latest versions, facebook app navigation probably has been rewrited. Some reverse engineering to do on latest version...

Deep linking to Facebook Messenger

As WizKid (FB Employee) said here:

...there is no documented way to interact with ... [Messenger] so anything
you do may break at any second.

So with that in mind, it sounds like fb-messenger://user-thread/ID has been deprecated. That being said, I decompiled the Facebook Android APK and found a line:

return Uri.parse((new StringBuilder("fb-messenger://user/")).append(Uri.encode(s)).toString());

So from what I can see, it looks like fb-messenger://user-thread/ID has been replaced with fb-messenger://user/ID

There's also a line thats:

return Uri.parse((new StringBuilder("fb-messenger://thread/")).append(Uri.encode(s)).toString());

So fb-messenger://thread/ID may be valid too. ID could be a user or thread ID, I didn't dig deep enough to find out.

EDIT:
Current Facebook URL is fb-messenger-public://user-thread/ID

Can a url link be shared from iOS app via FB Messenger without presenting UIActivityViewController dialog and not needing Facebook SDK?

After lots of searching I can confirm that it is not possible to share text or other media via Facebook Messenger without using their FB SDK as they do not provide URL schemes for that.
