i refuse to install the mobile app because there is no way to stop people from calling you on messenger. There is no way to turn it off or have some kind of do not disturb. If someone wants to mess with you they can just keep calling you and your only choice is to block them and remove them from your friends list

>> "If someone wants to mess with you they can just keep calling you and your only choice is to block them and remove them from your friends list" This seems like either a made up scenario or you have weird friends. Who would keep calling someone to 'mess with them'???

  A classmate when you're holding a presentation? It sounds entirely plausible to me.

    Why would you have your phone on while giving a presentation? Also, it's not a very Messenger specific problem - they could do the same thing with your actual phone number.

      Well I usually put my phone to silent during class and especially presentations. The person you commented on mentioned there is no silent mode. Of course you could turn the phone off entirely, but then it takes longer to turn on, and you have to unlock the SIM card again... quite a hassle just to make facebook's apps shut up. I don't know though, I've never used Facebook Messenger.

        If you silence your device it will silence everything on it. No noise, no vibrations, no way for apps to bypass it (iPhone at least, and I'm pretty sure it's the same with Android).

  You know people harass others, right? It's not "made up". Come on.

    Of course - why are you friends with these people on Facebook then?? The OP mentioned that blocking was not a viable solution which indicates that he wants to keep them as friends on Facebook. If your friends are harassing you get better friends.
