You can now react to Facebook messages. Here’s how

Facebook’s group chat will get less chaotic with the global rollout of two Facebook Messenger features. These features were apparently tried by social media firm in Vietnam before the huge rollout.

Users can now “@mention friends” in a group chat to send them a special notification to reply to your message so they don't miss it in a noisy thread. You simply type @, then the person's name, and the name will be highlighted and that person will get an alert.

Then, Facebook will convey its News Feed Reactions to Messenger so that you could reply by appending a love, smile, wow, sad, angry, thumbs-up or thumbs-down emoji to a specific message. Along these lines you'll have the capacity to just express through about a specific message, regardless of the possibility that a bundle of other messages have come in since.

Tap and hold on a message to pull up the Reactions menu and select one. Everyone will see a counter of various reactions on the message, and you can tap that counter to see precisely who reacted how. Reactions work in one-on-one chats, too.

And keeping in mind that Messenger app is adding features to make it more like Facebook proper, the primary Facebook app is experimenting with another remark framework that looks more like Messenger. Who knows, maybe subsequent to unbundling chat from Facebook, Facebook needs to bundle them back together? That fails to comprehend course, however at any rate they're not placing Stories in another app.
