You also can choose a specific list of people who can watch your Days, and this applies to everything you post, rather than having to be set each time. However, Facebook says that only people who have permission to message you like Facebook friends will see your Days at the top of their app. You manually can save what you share frame by frame.īy default, posts are visible to “Everyone except” specific people you block. Sharing options include natively shot photos and 15-second videos, as well as uploaded media, including GIFs that are shown inset with a black border to denote they’re old. You can post by tapping the big shutter button at the bottom, the “Add To Your Day” spot at the top or from a prompt when you share imagery in a thread.
Messenger’s big camera redesign from December seems tailor-made to boost Day usage.

In this way, Messenger might be a way to cure the loneliness that could succeed where Down To Lunch, Free and Foursquare failed. That breaks the ice to push users from seeing a friend doing something fun to asking if they can come join. You’ll see a green dot on the Messenger Days of friends who are currently available to chat with on the app. One special feature that Snapchat doesn’t have: Active Now. And if you’re already chatting with someone who’s posted, you’ll see a call out on mobile and Facebook’s desktop site to watch their Day. This drops the barrier for turning a broadcast into a conversation that can feel a bit daunting in Snapchat. While there’s no Like counter, Messenger lets you instantly reply privately to a Day with custom or pre-filled messages like “haha”, “Wow”, a heart, or a “100” emoji that show in your chat thread with that person. That auto-advance style will make it easy to insert ads between Days. You can tap to fast-forward or rewind, and hold to pause, with your next friend’s Day appearing right after the last.
They’re reverse chronologically ordered to help you make plans with people sharing now. There you’ll see thumbnail tiles previewing the Days of friends, instead of just a name and profile pic. Messenger Day appears above your chat threads on Messenger’s home screen, employing the same bold design that helped Instagram Stories rocket to 150 million daily users in 5 months. I got to spend yesterday trying Messenger Day on my own, and was impressed by how it accomplished both those objectives without adding friction to the app. And 2) It’s about where I want to take my day, like ‘I’m bored and I want to go out for coffee’ or ‘I want to go see a movie’ so I’m going to use a frame, take a photo, and see which of my friends are going to engage with me to actually make that plan, because planning is one of the core capabilities of a messaging app.” “The two key functionalities are 1) I’m going to set context because it’s going to make for better conversations if people know where I am and what I’m doing. It’s not about tomorrow,” Marcus tells me.
