Updates For Messenger By Meta

Updates for Messenger by Meta

Meta has recently announced some new updates for Messenger, including shared albums, so you can collaborate with group chat members on visual collections, the return of QR codes to connect (once again), and HD photos in-stream.

Firstky,  on shared albums, which, as it sounds, enables you to create group photo collections in a Messenger chat.

Users will be able to create an album in-stream by adding multiple photos to the composer, while chat members will be able to add their own images once they tap into the collection.

Next up is HD photos, which will further refine your visual experience in the app. As you can see in the example below, you can now add higher definition images in-stream, which will be great for those looking to share the latest visuals of their holidays, art works, etc.

To send an HD photo, you’ll first select an image within the chat composer, then turn the HD toggle on in your options. You then tap “Send”. That’s it. You can also send multiple images in HD by following the same process.

Meta’s also making another push on QR codes, which is something that it seems to come back to every few years. You can access your individual Messenger QR code from your app settings, which you can then offer to people to scan in, facilitating easier connection.

Finally, Messenger users can also now share files up to 100MB in size within a chat. Meta says that all major file formats are supported, including Word, PDF, Excel and zip.
