Why Does Messenger Say 'Facebook User' Instead of Name?
If Messenger is showing 'Facebook User' instead of a name, it's usually because the person has deactivated their account. You'll still see messages but no profile details.

Hot take: They quit Facebook. Poof! Gone.
That happens when the user has either deactivated or deleted their Facebook account. They aren't taking a break from you, just Facebook!
I've seen this when my friend deactivated his account. His name vanished but our chat history is still there.
