Facebook just revealed its genius plan to make money from Messenger

JILLIAN D'ONFROJul 30, 2015, 06:17 IST

On today's Facebook earnings call, investors asked several questions about two fledgling businesses: Instagram and Messenger.

We know the plan for Instagram. Earlier this quarter, Facebook rolled out a major app update for Instagram and announced plans to open up all of Facebook's ad targeting tools to the photo sharing service. It also now lets brands use a new format where they can create slideshows of multiple photos, with links.

Messenger's road to dollar signs hasn't been quite as clear, but CEO Mark Zuckerberg laid out Facebook's plans much more clearly during the earnings call.
