9 Things You may not know you can do with Facebook Messenger
Facebook Messenger is one of the most popular apps in the world — more than 700 million people use it each month.
Facebook separated Messenger from the main Facebook app last year, and since then the company has updated it with several features that make it more than a typical messaging app.
For instance, did you know that you can send people money in Messenger and also use it to make video calls?
Here are nine features Facebook Messenger has that you may not know about.

Here are nine features Facebook Messenger has that you may not know about.
Make voice and video calls for free over the internet.
To call someone who has the Messenger app installed on their phone, tap the video or phone icon in the top right of the message window next to their name.
Send people money.
- Tap the little icon with three dots next to the thumb icon and then "Payments."
- Enter the amount you want to send.
- Add your Visa or MasterCard debit card.
Talk to brands.
When you buy something from Everlane, for example, and have your Facebook account tied into the order, your order details get sent to you in Messenger. You can request shipping status updates and get customer support directly in the app.
Facebook is starting to integrate more businesses into Messenger, but for now, this experience only works with Everlane and Zulily for retail.
Share your location.
You can choose to share your current location or a pin somewhere else on a map.
Use other apps in Messenger for sending stuff like GIFs.
To see a list of all the apps you have access to, tap the three dots — in the bottom right corner — in a message thread.
Use Messenger from Facebook's web app.
Mute a conversation.
You'll be able to mute the thread for a certain amount of time or indefinitely.
Organize your group messages.
But if you deal with a lot of threads with multiple people, the tab is a great way to organize your conversations. You can pin them in a grid view and create new groups with a dedicated picture and name.
Eventually you'll be able to use "M," Facebook's virtual assistant that will be able to do things like book a flight to call your cable company.
Facebook is working on its own virtual assistant called M that will work directly in Messenger. Think of it like Siri, but more powerful. It will help you make restaurant reservations, buy stuff as if you were using Amazon, contact the DMV, book vacations, and more.
Right now, Facebook M is only available to a small group
of people using the Messenger app in the San Francisco Bay area, but the
social network's ambition is to have M eventually work for all of
Messenger's 700 million users.
