[Asia Economy Reporter Jin-gyu Lee] A cross messenger that allows Facebook and Instagram users to communicate with each other will be launched.

According to TechCrunch and other foreign media on the 14th, Facebook is introducing for the first time a feature that allows Instagram users to communicate with people on Facebook.

Facebook Messenger will receive various new features and visual updates, including chat theme support, customized reactions, selfie stickers, and vanish mode for chat windows. These changes are part of Facebook's messaging platform overhaul announced at the end of last month.

Facebook stated that the cross messenger app with Instagram will be released soon to users across North America. Facebook Messenger users do not need to take any separate action to receive the new features.

The most visually noticeable change is the Facebook Messenger logo reflecting the cross messaging feature. From now on, it will appear in Instagram's escrow colors of blue, purple, and pink instead of Facebook Blue.

The default chat color in Messenger will also be changed to match the new style. Additionally, new chat themes will be introduced to users. Messenger users will be able to react with various emojis instead of the existing standard set.

Newly added features such as selfie stickers that allow users to decorate their photos with stickers and vanish mode that makes chat windows disappear are also expected to be provided soon.
