Facebook technical support team bring to you this latest article of the Messenger's latest features along with tips on how to use them best

Facebook intends to turn its Messenger service into a one-stop platform for social media users, especially after the company decided

to enable the Messenger to send and receive texts last year.

1. Reactions:
The new set of Emojis on Messenger now includes a thumb down, one which isn’t present in the Facebook app as well as a new ‘Love’ Emoji which isn’t just a heart shape but heart-shaped eyes on a round face. Common Emojis shared by both platforms are wow, sad, angry, thumbs up and haha.

2.Mentions: Mentions lets you tag someone in a chat and post a comment or a question addressed to him/her specifically.All you need

to do is to type the ‘@’ button followed by the name of the person you wish to tag.The person you tag will then receive a specific

notification stating that you have mentioned him/her in a group chat or via a direct message.

3.Live Location: Live Location will help your friends and family to know your present location when needed. If you’re lost or waiting

for a friend to pick you up from somewhere, you can instantly share your location with him on Messenger by simply tapping on the blue

bar. Your location will be visible to the intended recipient for as long as 60 minutes.

4.Messenger Day: With Messenger Day, you can now share your best photos with your friends and family on Messenger and add art and

effects on them the way you want to.

5.Group Payments: Group payments will let you send to and receive money from people in group chats.The new feature is presently

available only to Android and desktop users.Facebook has assured that the option is safe and secure and that users won’t need to

remember their passwords to complete transactions. While this may get a while to get used to for some users, the feature may in

future benefit from the surge in contactless transactions aided by e-wallets and other payment apps.
