This text is gibberish! Supposedly Facebook is supposed to carry out an update at 11 p.m. If you haven't sent the message to all of your contacts beforehand, you should lose the permission to chat - what?

Phu, we already know a few chain letters and many are simply translated 1:1 from the English language. This results in some very funny German texts. This could also apply to this chain letter:

This message is to inform all of our users that our servers have been very busy recently. We therefore ask you to help you solve this problem. We ask active users to redirect this message to all people in your contact list to confirm active Facebook users if you do not send this message to all your contacts on Facebook and your account will remain inactive with the result of losing all your cont Move These news. Your smartphone will be updated within the next 24 hours with a new design and color for chat. Dear Facebook users, we will be conducting an update on Facebook from 11:00 p.m. Until 5 a.m. that day. If you don't send this to all of your contacts, the update will be canceled and you won't be able to chat using your Facebook messages

Is that correct?

No! These are combined fantasies that are currently being shared unchecked by thousands of users. A chain letter is born!

The mere information that you have to send the message to everyone in your contact list so that your Facebook account remains active is far-fetched. If Facebook already has server problems, why would Facebook require its users to send a pyramid message?

The suggestion that the smartphone would be updated within the next 24 hours is also technically impossible.

So what does this mean for us?

Exactly: You can safely ignore this alleged announcement from Facebook! This will break the chain and counteract the spread of such senseless chain letters!

And don't panic - you'll definitely be able to chat with your friends without any worries tomorrow. 😉
