Facebook added the Bump feature on their Messenger platform in one of the updates back in 2022. In simple words, bumping is usually done in forums, message boards and chats when you want to display a message at the top to prevent the message from getting buried.
Bump on Facebook Messenger: What is it?
You can use the bump feature on Facebook Messenger to remind others of something previously sent in the chat. If you feel that a certain message is not being replied to or is important enough to deserve attention currently, you can bump that message.
