Meta has updated Messenger with new features focusing on privacy, usability, and enjoyment.
Privacy and safety updates include the View Once Media option for single-view media messages, screenshot and screen recording blocks, in-app scam alerts via Spam Protection, and streamlined reporting and blocking of suspicious contacts.
Usability improvements consist of HD photo sharing, enhanced HD video calls, noise-suppressed audio for clearer calls, and Siri integration for easier navigation.
Expressive features allow users to personalize chats with themes, add music to notes, and use new sticker packs, including the Butterbear stickers.
Social features encourage community building through Messenger Communities, enabling topic-based chats via QR codes, and engaging with public figures through Broadcast Channels.
