Messenger also took a shortcut from Slack!
The most striking feature announced by Facebook Messenger was the “@everyone” shortcut. This feature alerts members after sending the “@everyone” message to a group, allowing the message to be seen by everyone. The newly added “@everyone” shortcut to Messenger is currently used as “@channel” with the same functionality in the Slack app.
One of the other features that Messenger brought was the “/silent” shortcut. This feature allows the user to be invisible to people without sending notifications to anyone. @everyone and /silent shortcuts will be available on Android and iOS devices after the update starting today.
Apart from the new features, iOS users will use the “/gif” shortcut to access the gifs directly. Again, iOS users will use the commands “/shrug and /tableflip” respectively for the expressions ¯_(ツ)_/¯ and (╯°□°）╯︵ ┻︎┻. In addition, Meta will allow users to transfer money and transfer money via Messenger in the coming days. It will also offer the “/pay” shortcut, which is an electronic payment system that will allow it to make payments.
