Facebook
has updated its Messenger app with a new camera and some
Christmas-themed effects. The upgraded camera is “faster, simpler and
more fun,” than previously, says Facebook, in order to meet increasingly
visual messaging needs.
The camera button itself now appears at the bottom-center of the app and is available once Messenger is opened, rather than only in the conversation window.
The new features include AR effects, or “3D masks”, which overlay animated content onto videos, as well as “thousands of stickers, frames,” and other effects.
“Over 2.5 billion emojis, photos, stickers and videos are sent every day on Messenger,” said Facebook, in its announcement. “In some ways the camera is now replacing the keyboard.”
Facebook announced the update yesterday, so it should be hitting devices soon. Download Facebook Messenger from Google Play at the link.
