Facebook Messenger recently also got a redesign that adds several new features including a new home tab, birthday, and favourites section. It introduces a new Favourites section that shows the people you converse with most frequently. The app even received an important feature that reintroduced support for SMS messages inside the Android app. In April, Facebook Messenger also hit a major milestone and recorded 900 million active monthly users, up from 800 million in January.

For all the Euro 2016 fans, Facebook Messenger also launched a hidden game inside the app that allowed users to play a game called KeepyUp whenever they used a football emoji. 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 Facebook Messenger app. Tap on the emoji after sending it, and Messenger opens the game up automatically.
