What is Bump in the Facebook Messenger App?
The Bump feature in the Messenger app enables users to quickly mention and resend messages, photos, or videos without the need to reply or manually copy-paste them.

Instead of employing the Reply feature or copying and pasting, you can utilize the Bump option to highlight specific items you’ve sent.
This feature is designed to save users valuable time by simplifying the process of referencing and resending content within conversations. You can bump your own message or someone else’s previous message to resurface it to the top of a chat, among the most recent messages. You can effortlessly apply the Bump function to any message, photo, or video, whether sent or received. As of now, Messages such as shared location details, polls, and missed calls cannot be bumped.
