Mark Zuckerberg has announced new features which will be implemented into the Facebook Messenger app. The new app will become an independent "ecosystem," allowing you to install apps and make payments from within Messenger itself.
The plans for the Facebook Messenger update were outlined at Facebook's F8 developer conference in San Francisco. The new infrastructure will allow developers to create applications and plugins which can "enhance" conversations, allowing you to add GIFs, photos, videos, audio clips and more.
Facebook's proprietary app store will be called "Messenger App Store" and will launch with more than 40 applications already available. When sending a message enhanced by of these apps, the recipient will be notified that they can install the same app to respond in kind.
In addition to the inclusion of apps, Facebook is also launching "Business on Messenger," a service which will facilitate the conversation between companies and their customers. For example, a consumer can make a purchase from a website, and choose to receive regular updates, like order confirmations and shipping updates, via Messenger.
