After the Facebook Live got a series of new features, now
the Messenger gets the privilege from Facebook. There are three main features presented
in Facebook Messenger: Messenger Codes, Messenger Usernames and Messenger
Links.
Messenger Codes feature is placed on the Settings tab in
your profile panel, it allows other users to scan their codes on profiles and
start a conversation with you. Its function is almost the same like a business
card, but in a more sophisticated form.
Messenger Codes feature becomes a new way to get a lot of
convenience, avoid the obligation to remember the phone numbers, account names,
usernames or other complicated details that in many cases lead to a typo or
something.
Next, the Messenger Links and Usernames are designed
according to user's personal profile. Both can be shared online via third-party
applications, and even become a signature in electronic mail or blog. The Links
can also be sent via Messenger to friends or contacts, so that people will
easily contact you.
Both of these features will help users to identify a
username or profile. We know that out there are a lot of Facebook users who
have the same usernames. Now, with a unique username, sending the message to
the wrong person can be avoided.
In addition to the three new features, Facebook also claims
to have a new record where the number of monthly active users of Messenger has
now touched the figure of 900 million people, higher 100 million than the
record of the beginning of the year, which reached 800 million. Using the same
time range, then the Facebook Messenger will make record of 1 billion people as
early as July.
