Facebook Messenger has a brand new logo and has several new customization features, including chat themes and a disappearance mode.
The new Messenger logo adopts the gradient design of the Instagram logo and changes from Facebook's patented full-tone blue to blue-pink. According to Facebook Messenger Vice President Stan Chudnovsky, the new logo should be more fun and mark the company's further development towards a mix of its functions with Instagram.
"Our new logo reflects a shift into the future of messaging, a more dynamic, fun, and integrated way to keep in touch with the people you are close to," said Chudnovsky.
In addition, Facebook Messenger will introduce more customization options, including chat themes like "love" and "tie dye", so you can make your conversations more unique. The platform will also introduce custom reactions, selfie stickers, and a disappearance mode.
Today's update follows an even bigger announcement in September when Facebook announced the introduction of cross-platform messaging between Instagram and Messenger. The platform has also rolled out a few other new features over the past few months, including screen sharing and the ability to video chat with up to 50 people.
The new logo and chat themes are already available on our devices with the latest version of Google Play. However, it may take some time for the functions to be activated on your device. You can download the latest version of Messenger for Android from the link below.
