Firebase notifications without cloud functions or the firebase console

Is there any way to send device to device notification without using cloud functions or firebase console. eg. like when sending a message in chat app, another user should receive a notification of message received like in WhatsApp. Thanks

It depends on what you mean by "without cloud functions". There is no direct device to device feature in FCM so to send an FCM message to a device you do need a back end of some type.

You could use the realtime features of Cloud Firestore or Realtime Database to be notified when a new message has been written and generate the notification locally, however this would only work for foregrounded case.
