Facebook messenger have updated their group chat function in a big way

The app just continues to go from strength to strength.

We're going to be able to video chat with up to 6 users from now on. According to TechCrunch, people on Messenger are going to be able to talk in split-screen mode and use stickers, Snapchat-style masks, emojis and GIFs. Messenger first released video calling in 2015, but only for people talking one-on-one. The new update is going to entitle users to easily video chat friends, with the ability to chat to up to 50 people via voice chat. To video chat someone, simply go into an existing message, or start a new one with friends and hit the video icon in the corner of the screen - this button will let the other users in the chat that you want to video chat. Every member of the group simply needs to touch the button to join the conversation and voilá! You have a group video chat in your very own hands.
