4. Shoot Hoops
Warning: This is insanely addictive. If you send a basketball emoji to a friend in Messenger, click on the basketball. You have now entered your own game (free throws only) of hoops. The score goes back to zero each time you miss, but you get a limitless number of tries. So you could actually play forever, and ever, and ever
5. Pay For Drinks
Once you’ve entered your debit card (go to your phone’s Settings and then Facebook to do so), you can send payments and request money from friends through Messenger. There isn’t much that differentiates payments within Messenger from those on Venmo, but if you made drink plans on Messenger, it can be an easy way to keep the conversation (and its ensuing tab) in one place.
