How to Use Messenger's Silent and Everyone Feature?
The command to the new feature is relatively easy to remember and access, and it does not need a person to go to specific tabs for it to work. However, it will only work for the Messenger app for the smartphone and computer app, not for the browser users of the platform.
Users need only to input "/silent" for no notifications to pop up on the message they wish to send, while they can also use "@everyone" to call the group's attention, immediately followed by the message.
Messenger is also aiming to release "/gif," "/shrug," and "/tableflip" soon.
Messenger's Features for the Public
Messenger is the former Facebook Messages that the company brought to a self-standing app for all messages to appear on one platform and focus on it alone. Since then, Messenger has brought features qualities exclusive to the platform and made it a destination for users to enjoy and utilize for all their communication needs.
Features like theMessenger Roomsbring a different experience for users as it promotes voice chats and forums that help get everyone closer together. The Rooms provide a place for people to discourse and talk using their voice instead of typing and the text it outputs for better integration, especially during this pandemic.
Facebook's Messenger isalso available on the Oculus Quest headsets, helping its users focus on the VR experience and communicate with others without removing it.
There are many features that Meta brought Messenger, and this recent experience brings more control over one's message despite sending it to many people. It will help those that usually need to send a message and avoid bothering others with the notifications that come with it. Moreover, the everyone feature provides more accessible tags to all members of the chat.
