, which have just arrived in Messenger, one of the most popular instant messengers in the world. The most important change is the ability to send photos in higher quality.
It is worth noting here that Messenger has been famous for years for “spoiling” the photos we send, which was primarily due to the use of quite aggressive file compression. “You can now send clearer and sharper photos in your chats,” boasts Meta.

To send a photo in higher quality, select the “HD” icon in the chat window when sending it. Unfortunately, Facebook does not inform us what the maximum permissible resolution of a photo is so that it is shared in exactly the same quality in which we send it.
What’s new in Facebook Messenger. We will send larger files and create a family album
This is not the end of what’s new in the popular messenger. Messenger users will now be able to send any files from their smartphone memory, with the maximum size being 100 MB. There is also a function of adding friends using a QR code, without the need to use a search engine.

Another new feature is the ability to create shared photo albums that we can share with our family and friends. This allows each member of the group chat to view and download photos, as well as add new photos.

Facebook Messenger with default message encryption
Already at the end of 2023, Meta announced another important news regarding Messenger. All messages sent through the app are now encrypted by default. Previously, you had to enable this feature yourself.
It is worth noting that default encryption is only enabled for private one-on-one conversations. The company is still working to make E2EE (end-to-end encryption) also available for group chats and Instagram conversations in the future.
