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.
