Facebook Messenger launches ‘hidden’ football game
To activate the game, you need to be running the latest version of Facebook Messenger for Android or iOS. Then, just send the football emoji in any conversation inside the Messenger app.
Tap on the emoji after sending it, and Messenger opens the game up automatically. The challenge is to keep the football from touching the ground. The game keeps your best score intact for the next time you use the emoji and want to replay.
Messenger app has also received a redesign that adds several new features including a new home tab, birthday, and favorites section.
The new interface of Messenger will show the few recent messages at the top of the screen when the app launches. This will be followed by a new Favorites section, which will include people the user messages most frequently.
The Messenger will now also have an Active Now section where the app will show who the people who are currently available online are.
There will be a new birthday section which will show the people who have their birthdays on the day which Messenger believes will prompt user wish them a happy day. Facebook says the new redesign is an update “aimed to make Messenger simpler to use by presenting more relevant information. The app now also includes a search bar at the top of the screen which will show results same as the Facebook mobile search.
Messenger team in a blog post said: “Up until now, most inbox experiences haven’t kept up with the new ways people connect. So, we’ve been thinking about how we can make it simpler and easier to find what you want to start a conversation.”
Messenger recently received an important feature that reintroduced support for SMS messages inside the app. The company has confirmed that the feature will be available via an update to all Android users globally.
