A new article on Social Media Today reports that Facebook has just announced a new set of sponsored chat themes for Messenger, as well as a new quick reply bar for shared images, and QR and payment links which make it easier to request and send money within your message threads.



Facebook recently added a new Messenger theme for the latest film in the 'Fast and Furious' franchise, which could point to coming sponsored theme opportunities within the app. The platform has now also added to this, with additional themes from Olivia Rodrigo, to celebrate the launch of her new album Sour, as well as a 'World Oceans Day' theme.

If you want to test out the new themes, choose a conversation, navigate to its settings, and click 'Theme'. In addition to this, Facebook has installed a new Quick Reply option when viewing media in a message thread. Users will be able to add a response to a shared image by replying beneath the image itself when in view mode. In the past, if a friend sent you a video and you clicked to watch it, the video would expand to your whole screen, and you had to exit the media view to respond to it. The update will streamline that connection, which could help to facilitate more engagement.

Facebook has also added new QR codes and payment links options in Messenger to better enable funds transfers within the app. The main news here is that the process will enable users to send money to, or request money from, anyone in the app, even if you're not connected to them already:

"No need to download a separate payment app or add new contacts on the fly! To access your personal QR code and payment link, visit your Messenger settings and tap "Facebook Pay." Simply share the payment link or allow your friends to scan your QR code to send or request money."
