Facebook Messenger Day: How to use the 24-hour status
With the new Facebook Messenger Day, the Facebook chat app is moving towards Snapchat. We show you how to use the 24-hour status correctly.
Messenger Day: This is how the new Facebook status works
Slowly but surely, all major messengers have a status that is similar in function to Snapchat. After Instagram and Whatsapp, the function can now be used in the Facebook messenger app. This way, you can share pictures and videos with your friends for 24 hours. After a day, the recordings disappear. Here's how to create your own status:
- When you open the current Facebook Messenger app, you will see the status of your friend at the top. Since the feature is quite new, there may be hardly any entries there. If you tap on an entry, you can comment on it.
- In the same area you will find the button "Post about your day" with which you can create your own status (screenshot: step 1).
- Now take a photo or video that you want to share with your friends. You can add smilies, effects and fonts using the marked functions (screenshot: step 2).
- Then press the right arrow (screenshot: step 3). Now check which friends are allowed to see these posts and send the status.
- The post is then visible to the selected friends for 24 hours and can be commented on.
