Despite claims that Google+ is a “dead” social network, it appears Facebook has decided to take a page or two out of Google’s playbook for the holidays. Google+ users are familiar with the goodies that Google makes available for their social platform during different times of year, like virtual snow added to winter pics that are posted. Facebook has released some similar features for their Messenger application.
The following features will be rolling out to Messenger users for the holidays:
- a special festive frame for New Year’s Eve selfies;
- snow globe chat heads;
- stickers inspired by the holidays;
- a Stickered for Messenger app from Creative Labs that will let users add stickers to photos and then send them to friends.
The Stickered for Messenger app should be appearing in Google Play shortly and will be followed by a release in Apple’s app store for iOS devices.
