Facebook introduced 5 new features in Messenger on its 10th anniversary.

1. Poll Your Friends with “Most Likely To” Games.
   You can now play “Most likely to” in polls to help you discover what your friends really think about topics like who is “most likely to give gifts on their own birthday? 🥳”, “most likely to fight zombies while everyone else runs away? 🧟‍♀️” and “most likely to miss their flight? ✈️”, or you can write your own prompt. To play a poll game in your group chat, tap Polls and select the “Most likely to” tab to pick a question and select the names of chat participants to be included as potential answers.

2. Birthday Cash Gifting Using Facebook Pay (for the US only).
   In the US, Facebook is introducing a new way to receive cash gifts directly through Messenger. When a friend sends you a cash gift for your birthday, you’ll be notified on Messenger and Facebook with their gift message wrapped and accompanied by virtual balloons. Once you confirm your Facebook Pay details, the cash gift will be instantly deposited into your bank account. To send a birthday cash gift, go to the Facebook mobile app and tap the button that appears alongside your friend’s birthday posts in your Facebook News Feed or their profile.

3. Birthday Expression Tools.
   Facebook introduced a new Birthday chat theme and specially curated “Messenger is 10!” sticker pack.
   You can also send a catchy birthday song 🎂 Soundmoji and use a Message Effect to add a burst of confetti to your celebratory message or even wrap it up with a bow.

4. A New Way to Share Contacts.
   A new way for you to easily share Facebook contacts with friends is through Messenger. Simply select the contact you want to share, access the chat settings and tap Share Contact under the More Actions section. 

5. Sneak Peek: Customize Your Conversations with Word Effects.
   A sneak peek of Word Effects, a new way to pair words with emojis that have meaning to you and your friends. When used in your conversation, these words will trigger the selected emoji to fill your screen. You now have the perfect way to highlight inside jokes, relive your memories and add extra delight to your favourite phrases, like that song lyric stuck in your head or “Happy Birthday” (we suggest the 🎉  emoji). Word Effects will be coming to Messenger soon, so get excited about that update.
