Recently, we've found out that during conversation with user and the Facebook Page on Messenger we're getting some unexpected results regarding author of the message. It looks like for some users, instead real name, we're getting Facebook user.
"from": {
"name": "Facebook user",
"email": "[...]",
"id": "{ID}"
}
What is the reason of changing author name to Facebook user? We need to inform clients why it's happening.
