How can I open Facebook Messenger by linking? I have a userid. I want to chat with users. But some userid is scope app id that I can't connect to them. Is there any way to open Messenger with every returned id type?

You can use m.me links to open messenger:

M.me link will open a conversation with your app in messenger, which opts them in. Once they either tap a get started button on your welcome screen or send you a message you'll get a webhook event that includes their page scoped I'd, which you can use to send them a message.

Just in case you are like me and still searching then just add this :

Linking.openURL(http://m.me/<PAGE_NAME>)

Instead of:

Linking.openURL(fb-messenger://<PAGE_NAME>)

Linking.openURL('https://www.messenger.com/t/<PAGE_NAME>)

Linking.openURL(fb-messenger://user//<PAGE_NAME>)
