Facebook Messenger will have stickers with links to web pages

News for the Facebook Messenger messaging application. We have learned, thanks to application leaks expert Jane Manchun Wong, that this messaging service would be testing new stickers, similar to Instagram Stories. These new stickers would contain information such as links of interest and mentions to other users. This is how we have been able to see it in a recent update of your account, with separate screenshots that reveal this new function.

In addition to these new stickers for Facebook Messenger, we have recently received news about this application that could once again change the way we use it. Everyone knows that Facebook's messaging service has always been surrounded by some controversy. At first, this utility was integrated into the Facebook application, as one more tab of the social network's own content. Later, perhaps to give it its own packaging and to be able to monetize it even more, it was decided to 'remove' it from Facebook, that is, the user who decided to continue using it had to download it from the Google Play Store, thus having, from then on, two different applications.

What happened now? That, apparently, within Zuckerberg's plans is to re-integrate Facebook Messenger within the social network itself. And this why? Because the tycoon, owner of Facebook, Instagram and WhatsApp, wants to unify all of his messaging services (three in particular) in a single application. It was in January of this year when we found out about Facebook's plans to combine both Facebook Messenger and WhatsApp and Instagram Direct within the same platform. Be careful, saying common platform does not mean that everything is in the same application but that they will share the same structure, the user being able to send messages from one to another, without having to be registered in all of them. In addition, it would have an end-to-end encryption service, so security would increase significantly.

We are expected to see this new messaging system in late 2019 and early 2020.
