Facebook has been copying Snapchat across all their applications and this time they have introduced a new ‘Camera’ feature to their Messenger app. The company’s instant messaging app is now letting people use the camera front and center and they have introduced very familiar features that were once perfected and pioneered by their rival - Snapchat.

While using the camera, a user can now doodle over pictures/videos and also add stickers, emojis and real-time masks to selfies. Users can even personalise and style selfies with Prisma like filters. Facebook announced that the new update is rolling out today and will be available for both iOS and Android devices.

This new feature that has been added to Messenger is just another shot at Snapchat and it seems like Facebook is not going to stop anytime soon. As of July 2016, Facebook’s messenger has over 1 billion monthly active users, making it one the most used messaging app in the world. With over 1 billion users, Facebook wants to encourage users to use these new features on their messaging app rather than on rival applications.

Facebook blatantly copied Snapchat last August as they introduced stories to Instagram and they are also testing a revamped Snapchat style camera for the main Facebook app. It won’t be long before we see every Snapchat feature across all Facebook applications in the near future.
