Facebook Messenger Gets Even Better With New Animated Reactions And Filters in Video Calls

Facebook has been adding a ton of new features to its Messenger application over time to attract more patrons. With a new update to the app, it does look like the social media giant is eager to remind people that the video-chatting feature in the Messenger app is something you can actually use since most users seem to prefer other social apps for video-calls.

Now, with a whole new set of filters, masks, and video reactions to video-chats in Messenger, Facebook is aiming to ship an extra enjoyable experience to the younger audience and shore up the user base as opposed to other competing video-chat apps.

To get the animation reaction while on a video call, the user can choose one of the many Facebook’s customary reactions (love, ‘wow’, ‘haha’, angry, and sad) and the selected one will animate on screen.

Moreover, the service introduces stylistic filters that give your video footage that extra special touch. With this feature, you get to choose from a bunch of Snapchat-like filters that even react to your facial movements in the messenger, and test what each looks like before letting others see it.

Facebook is also bringing in augmented reality masks to video-chats, allowing customers pick from a range of masks. Other features that have been added to the Facebook Messenger include effects like falling hearts and twinkling stars that behave like masks and stay on the screen for the duration of the chat unless you disable them or switch to another one.
