Meta updated Messenger - shared albums, HD photo support and sending files up to 100 MB

Users can now create photo and video albums in shared Messenger chats - to do this, you need to select several individual images from the conversation (by tapping or holding) and activate the "Add to Album" option.

Each chat participant can view, add, delete, and upload photos and videos to the album. You can find it by clicking the "Media" button in the chat.

Also, through Messenger, you can finally send photos in high resolution. Users can switch the "HD" option after selecting an image in the chat editor (though it seems each of the shots will need to be marked separately).

In September 2023, Meta added support for HD photos in WhatsApp.

In addition, Messenger offers an alternative to email for sending large files, as it now allows you to send Word, PDF, Excel, and ZIP files up to 100 MB directly in chats. To do this, click the + in the chat, and then select the file on your device.

Another update - the launch of an option that will help connect with other users by scanning a QR code. The new features are available on mobile devices for all Messenger users.
