Anyone in the conversation can change the colors, nicknames and emojis as many times as they want, and when you make a change, the people you’re talking to will see what updates you selected. For Android, tap the info button in the top right. For iOS, tap on the people’s names at the top of a conversation to change your family group thread to a festive red, update your mom’s formal first and last name to just “Mom,” or change the emoji response in your holiday meet up group from the thumbs up to something more timely, like a party hat. With various color choices, emoji and nicknames, now you can really make Messenger your own space. In addition to making it easier to send photos, we are rolling out new fun ways to customize your conversations with different people and groups. If you choose not to share the photo, hit “Cancel”.Once you take a photo with your friends, you’ll get a reminder to send the photo to them (the photo will not be sent unless you tap Send).Make sure the feature is enabled (you can do this by going into your “Settings” menu in Messenger, but you’ll also be prompted to try Photo Magic – you can say “Try It” or choose to “X” it out).And you can turn this feature on or off at anytime as well as control if you are recognized in your friends’ photos in the timeline and tagging section of your Facebook settings. So at a time of the year when more photos are taken than any other (last year Messenger saw hundreds of millions of photo sends on New Year’s Eve), we’re making it simple for you to share those happy moments.īy recognizing your Facebook friends in the photos you take (just like when tagging or sharing photos on Facebook), Messenger can create a group thread for you to share the photos with those friends in just two taps. Also, we know there are times when you want to share photos privately, and Photo Magic makes it effortless to do so while still keeping you in complete control. Photo Magic will help you keep your promise to send the pictures you take without forgetting, or worse, leaving someone out. You won’t need to stop the fun to make sure everyone has a copy of the picture. Now in Messenger, after you take a picture of a friend or group of friends, if you want to, we’ll help you send it immediately. But there is still a lot of friction in sending the photos you take to your friends who are in them. In fact, more than 9.5 billion photos are sent in Messenger each month alone. Photo sharing in Messenger is growing at a fast rate. Feedback has been great, and we are looking forward to making it easier to share more photos, especially this time of year. Today we are making Photo Magic, which has been in testing for the last month, available to more people. In preparation for the coming weeks as many of us spend lots of time with friends and family, Messenger is rolling out some new features to make it easy for you to surprise and delight those you love.
