Messages from someone who is not a person's friend automatically fall under the Message Requests section. Users can check it on their inbox and easily filter out messages from strangers.
Share music
Music lovers can now share songs with their friends through Messenger. They simply need to tap the "+" icon in a conversation and tap the Spotify button that appears.
Play games
Users can also interact with their friends by playing online games on Messenger. To begin, they need to tap the joystick icon on the home screen's bottom right-hand corner. Classic games can be played, including "Space Invaders," "Snake" and "Pac-Man."
Change themes
While Blue is the default theme of Messenger, users now have the option of customizing it. They can choose any color they want by opening a chat, tapping the options button and selecting one color.
Adjust emoji size
Emojis can also come in different sizes. To make an emoji larger, one just needs to push down the icon they want. Upon releasing their finger, users will automatically be sent the custom-sized emoji.
Send location
Users have the option of sending out their current location to friends. They only need to tap the "+" sign and choose "Location." The selected location can be shared for an hour.
