Facebook has added three new themes to Facebook Messenger. The new themes are aimed at boosting your Messenger experience. Apart from themes, Messenger gets a quick reply bar that helps you engage with content from family and friends. In addition, paying your friends is now easier with new QR codes and payment links. In other words, you can send or receive money from anyone, even if you are not friends on Facebook.
All Messenger users in the US will get the payment feature. There is no need to download and install a separate app. However, you have to enable the feature from settings. Simply head over to Messenger settings and select “Facebook Pay.” Once done, you can share the payment link with friends to receive payment. Furthermore, the sender can also scan your QR code to send money.
The Quick Reply Bar is specifically designed to help you reply to media content. Next time your friends an adorable picture of their cat, you can directly respond using the Quick Reply Bar. This way, you don’t have to open the Messenger app to send a response. Instead, users can tap on the photos and punch in response.
Facebook has added new ways to personalize your Messenger experience. The new themes let you transform the background and add some colors to the conversation. The new features are rolling out to Messenger users in the US starting today. In addition, Facebook has added the following themes to Messenger and Instagram.
