Facebook chat is shown twice

The Facebook chat

• Facebook has implemented its own messaging service with which you can send messages to other Facebook users. There are two different views for this purpose. This apparently double implementation of the chat area differs in its functionality.
• On the Facebook start page you will find the chat bar on the right side of the screen, in which you can see which of your friends is currently online (on the website or via the app). Clicking on a name then opens a small chat window in which you can write your message. Pressing "Enter" sends the message directly. By the way, the chat windows stay open even if you switch sides. As long as you stay on Facebook, the chat windows will follow you.
• In the navigation on the left you will also find the News area. Here you will find an archive of all your messages and chats that you have had so far.

The respective functions of the double chats

• The chat window from the chat bar on the right is, as already briefly indicated, intended for quick messages. The messages will be sent directly as soon as you hit Enter. In addition, you do not have the option of sending file attachments there, but you can switch to any other page within Facebook without your Chat is closed.
• In the messages area, you must always keep the window with the current conversation open. Messages are not sent automatically with Enter, so you can force line breaks here. You can also attach files to a message. In truth, it is not a double view for the same function, rather the chat is divided according to use.
