Facebook Messenger is one of the most popular platform for communicating with people around the world. It has more than 700 million users using it on monthly basis. Besides messaging a lot more can be done with Facebook messenger.
Here is the complete lists for using this app
1) Make voice and video call over internet
Messenger isn't all about sending text message. The app supports voice and video call facility over internet, which means you don't need a traditional phone plan to speak to someone or have a video chat with them.
To call someone who has Facebook messenger installed on their device tap the video or phone icon in the top right of the message window next to their name.
2) Send money through messenger
Facebook come up with a new idea, where you can send money from your bank account to your friends, family and relatives account.
How to do that
Facebook has partnered with several retailers as well as Zendesk, a customer-service platform, to let you talk with companies like you would in a normal message thread.
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 trying to integrate more businesses into messenger, but for now, this experience only works with Everlane and Zulily for retail.
4) Share location
When you are in a conversation with someone, tap the three dots button in the bottom right corner and the tap 'Location', your location details is now ready to send to your friends.
5) Use other apps in messenger for sending stuff like GIFs
Apps like Giphy and ESPN integrate directly into messenger. This means that you can use Giphy to quickly share a GIF or share sports memes and highlights from ESPN. You can see the list of all apps you have access to, by tapping on the three dots in the bottom right corner, in a message thread.
6) You don't actually need a Facebook account to use messenger
It is not compulsory that you should have a Facebook account to use messenger. Earlier this year Facebook made it possible to sign up for messenger with just a phone number, that means anyone having a phone number is enough to open a account in messenger. You can create a messenger account from the mobile app or website.
7) Mute a conversation
If you are annoyed by notifications from a message thread, you can mute the conversation without leaving it. Just tap the name of the person or group you want to mute at the top of the screen and then tap 'notifications'. You'll be able to mute the conversation for a certain period of time or until you turn it on.
8) Organize your group messages
This is the section of the messenger app you probably don't use is groups. But if you deal with a lot of threads with multiple people, the tab is a great way to organize your conversation. You can pin them in a grid view and create new groups with a dedicated name and picture.
