This Facebook function frightens some anonymous page admins and looks misleading at first glance.
But in the end she turns out to be completely harmless. You can even go further: in its scope it is completely unnecessary and is actually no one's business. Or does it matter in the end? We are dealing with the “ Page replied privately ”
This information is displayed in gray. It has to be said: if you start stalking and explicitly look for it, you are unlikely to find what you are looking for. The information “Page has replied privately” is a very rare display and is basically completely unnecessary in its information content - at least for the visitors to the page.
Page responded privately
At this point you could assume that this display appears when an administrator has written on their own site using their private account. However, this is not the case. This information should now reassure all anonymous site operators . No, the person where the information “Page replied privately” appears is not the page owner .

The meaning of “page responded privately” is simply that at exactly this point, in response to this comment, the page owner as a page itself contacted the user who commented there. It sounds a bit difficult to understand at first, so repeat it slowly.
Page writes to users
Pages have the option to send users a private message. However, this is not possible in the same way that a profile can do, but you can only write to a private person as a page if they have commented on your own page. In the comments, the site operator sees the option “Send message”. If you click on this, you can write to a person as a page .
If you do this, the corresponding private profile will receive a private message from the site operator on behalf of the site . Here, too, you can be reassured: there will be no disclosure of the site operator's private profile.
The private profile has now received a completely normal private message. This message is presented to the user as a page name.
Actually, that should be enough
Basically, the function is now complete, but Facebook has added a strange-looking display, because interestingly, everyone can now see that the page has written to exactly this user. You can't see the content, but you can see THAT the page clicked "Send Message" at this point.
Every visitor to the site, even if they have nothing to do with these private messages, can see that the site has contacted the exact user at this point. And only in this exact spot. If you search for comments from the same user on the corresponding page, this information will not be displayed.
Important for visitors?
Why all visitors see this information is questionable. Does it really matter to the rest of the visitors if a page has contacted a user? Or does it matter in the end?
