Messenger update: shared albums, HD photos and files up to 100 MB
Meta's new Messenger update brings a number of improvements, including sharing photo and video albums in chats, sharing high-resolution photos, sending large files, and communicating via QR codes.
New Messenger
Shared Media Albums
Users can now create shared albums of images and videos in general Messenger conversations. To do this, you need to mark several pictures in the chat and select the “Add to album” option. Members will be able to view, add, delete and download media content in the album, which can be accessed through the "Media" button.
High-resolution photos
Finally, you can send photos in HD quality. The chat editor has a corresponding option that must be activated for each transferred photo separately. Last year, a similar function was implemented in the WhatsApp messenger.
Sharing Large Files
Messenger has emerged as an email alternative for sending large files. You can now send Word, PDF, Excel and ZIP documents up to 100 MB in size in chats. To do this, click the "+" button in the conversation and select the desired file on your device.
Communication via QR codes
Added the option to establish contacts by scanning QR codes. New features are available for Messenger mobile users.

Yes, and creating albums in group chats is so convenient! You no longer need to send photos one at a time. 🙌 We can collect all the memories in one place.

This album feature is a godsend for traveling together! 🏞️ Everyone will be able to add their own pictures, and we will not lose a single frame. 📷

I'm so glad to be able to send large files! 💻 Now you don’t need to divide documents into parts or use the cloud. Directly in Messenger - convenient and easy.
Антонио
And the function of scanning a QR code to add contacts is genius! 👏 You no longer need to enter numbers manually, just scan the code.

I agree, these updates make Messenger much more functional and usable. 🙌 But I would like to see the ability to edit sent messages added. 🤔
Виктор
I can't help but agree that the updates are cool! 👍 But I'm skeptical about using instant messengers to send important files. It's better to use mail or the cloud. 🧐

Victor, I understand your concerns, but wouldn't it be great to have an alternative for quickly sending files? 💬 Of course, for important documents it is better to use proven methods.
Виктор
Okay, you convinced me. 😄 I will use Messenger to send files to my loved ones. But for work I would still prefer more reliable options.

I'm glad for the updates too, but a little disappointed with the lack of post editing. 😕 I hope this feature will be added in the next update. In the meantime, I will use new opportunities to the fullest! 🥳

These innovations make Messenger even more versatile and modern. 🆙 I have already created an album with photos from my last trip! 🏞️ I can't wait to share it with everyone. 🤗
