Meta has now updated its Messenger application (or Facebook Messenger) with the addition of a command or shortcut system to send messages anonymously, call anyone who is chatting, paying friends or searching for GIFs.
Basically, these are Messenger tricks to allow you to enter commands just by typing in text, such as Telegram or Slack, if you know. Only two commands are available now: “@for everyone” and “/ silent.”
The @As order allows, in group discussions, to compete with all participants by marking them all at once. A way to say “Hey, shut up, I have something to say!” but in a disturbing way, such as the young and dynamic technology of this 3.0 network should do. Believe me, I would fly a-signs if they were implemented in the physical world.
The silence command allows you not to silence the participant in the debate, but to send “clever” messages or messages, soumsoum, as the teens say (sorry, I just missed the killer scene for ten years). Basically, when you enter this order, your message will be sent to your recipient without notice, so as not to disturb you.
The idea, according to Meta, is to allow you to share your clever ideas or your literary flights with sleep deprivation for a few hours to anyone you want without waking up at 4am notice. In fact, I see the idea of not being able to irritate anyone with a message that I consider to be unhealthy.

Other planned routes including one for payment
Meta has announced that more roadblocks will arrive in the coming weeks and months, primarily in the US and iOS. Therefore, affected users should be able to pay “/ pay.” This only applies to peer-to-peer payments and the transaction will be free.
We will also be entitled to a short “/ gif” to search for a GIF easily or another to send emoticons such as / shrug ¯ \ _ (ツ) _ / n or / tableflip (╯ ° □ °) ╯ ︵ ┻━ ┻ si si si si kastaba me me me me me mes mes mes me me me me me me me me me me me me me me me me me me me me me me me me me me me me me me me me me me me me me Messenger.
I personally could not try these new methods because I am on Android. My sister, Pommiste, did not have the latest firmware for her Messenger application. If you have an iPhone, please let me know how you view these shortcuts if you have any.
Personally, I am not opposed to giving users more control over the content of the messages they contain. I also found that adding commands helps to deepen the user experience (in addition to giving me a sense of hackers who are well versed in code).
The shortest path you would like to have in your messaging app? For me, it would be a direct response to the false excuse that I should not go out or @friends should eventually get some (/ insereremojisad).
