Direct Messages

Show typing indicator (Facebook & Instagram)

Shows a typing indicator in the participant's thread — the "..." bubble they see while a reply is being composed. Facebook Messenger and Instagram Direct only; other networks return 422. Asynchronous: eligibility is validated up front and the action is delivered to Meta in the background. Meta clears the indicator after about 20 seconds or as soon as a message is sent, and it only renders while the participant is inside the messaging window.
