It will also be possible to blow out candles thanks to augmented reality effects or make balloons and confetti appear, all directly in conversations. Note also the arrival of a birthday song based on “soundmojis,” among the novelties.

Even more fun conversations

Facebook now allows users to share Facebook contacts on Messenger for ease of contact sharing. The other big novelty is the personalization of conversations. Facebook has also created new word effects for its instant messaging. Specifically, certain words will directly trigger effects as soon as they are entered into certain conversations. This will not be done by itself. It will indeed be necessary to take a little tour in the settings of the conversation, to associate a word with the emoji of his choice, the emoji being first suggested by default by Facebook.
