How well will these go down with users?
If you’re like us, you spend a significant portion of your day on Facebook Messenger, thanks to that damn tempting circular pop-up that shows up every time you get a notification.
Curse its attractive presentation.
Well, according to TechCrunch, the social media giant are releasing a few new features to the app that are nothing extreme, but are a pretty slick addition at the same time.
For instance, Messenger users will now know when their friends are ‘Active Now’, thanks to a green button appearing next to their name; the same option that is available on desktop.
You’ll also know exactly who you chat to the most, courtesy of the new ‘Favourites’ feature, which will appear along the screen.

Additionally, Messenger will now inform you about your friends’ birthday, so you’ll never, ever, ever forget the birthdays of your nearest and dearest again, as long Facebook is concerned.
What do you make of these changes?
