People who show up in the People tab, at the top of your chats list, or have a by their name or photo are active or have been recently active on Messenger or Facebook. Community chats with unread messages will also appear among active contacts at the top of your chat list.
The algorithm chooses interactions, activity, communication, photos, etc. This determines which friends will show up on top and have priority. The friends that you communicate with most often will usually be first on this list.
The blue circle with the check next to your message means that your message was sent. A filled-in blue circle next to your message means that your message was delivered. And, when a friend has read your message, a small version of your friend's photo will appear next to your message.
Click on the said person to open their profile. In the chat, you'll find the “View Profile” option, click on that. Just below their name, you'll find the “View Profile on Facebook” button, tap on that. On their Facebook profile, click on the Friends button and choose the “Unfriend” option.

Chat heads are circular profile icons that overlay other content on the screen when you receive a new message on Messenger. Tap on one, and you can read the full conversation in a pop-up, as well as respond, without leaving any app you're currently in.
Facebook doesn't let people track who views their profile. Third-party apps also can't provide this functionality. If you come across an app that claims to offer this ability, please report the app.
You only have to turn on the airplane mode of your device or shut down the internet. After that, you can read the message, and it will not show the read receipt to the sender. Note : The drawback is that the sender can see the read receipt whenever you turn on the internet or turn off the airplane mode.

The people with whom you interact most often (via likes, messages, and comments) and those for whom you regularly search typically show up at the top of your friends list.
I think they appear at the top of your chat list because you talk to them the most; if the same can be said of then, then perhaps. If they talk to someone else more, then that person will appear at the top of their list.
Mutual friends show up first. As you type close to some name and the results are not your friends and you had never visited their profiles, then it is someone who visited you recently. Also the pages and people you visit the most pop up first. Save this answer.
Active users on Messenger are indicated by a green dot next to their name and profile picture. On mobile, open the Facebook Messenger app. Tap "People" → "Activity".
Facebook determines those nine friends based on some factors - your interactions with those individuals on Facebook, profile views, tagged photos, wall posts, likes, comments, viewed photos, private messages, mutual interactions, friends who are currently online, friends you've added to the "close friends" group and ...
Stay hidden from a friend
If there is only one person you want to hide from, click open the chat window of your friend, click the 'gear' button and select 'Go Offline..' By selecting this option, your friend will see you as offline, but you can still send them messages.
If you restrict someone: You won't get notifications when they message you, and your phone won't ring when they call you. You won't be able to call or message them. You won't see your conversation with them in your Chats list.
To create a secret conversation on Messenger, start a new chat and tap the lock icon. Messenger's secret conversations are encrypted, meaning not even Facebook can read them.
First, log in to Facebook and go to your Friends List by clicking on Friends on the left side of the page. Then click on All Friends. Next, type in the name of the friend in the search box. If they don't show, it could be a sign that they have blocked you.
Does Facebook send notifications for screenshots? Taking a screenshot of stories, posts, or pictures does not send a notification. You or someone else can take screenshots of almost anything without triggering a notification.
You automatically follow people who you're friends with. You can also follow Pages (example: businesses, organizations, brands) and people who aren't your friend on Facebook but allow everybody to follow them. When you follow someone or a Page, you may see updates from that person or Page in your News Feed.
Bubbles let you read and reply to messages while you're using other apps. A bubble (a circle with your friend's picture) will pop up when you get a new message. To view and reply to the message without leaving the screen you're on, just tap the bubble.
Here is the reason as well solution for this problem. a person will be showing active you if they are not friend with you. you have messaged them recently or you have chatted them some time before or you poked them or you wave them a hi, That's why they will be showing active in your active friend list.
