Social media platform Meta (Facebook) has announced a new chat shortcut for Messenger users designed to smooth internal payments.
The /Pay shortcut allows Messenger users to easily send and receive funds in private or one-on-one conversations. The payments benefit from Meta’s latest security features and will be processed in real time, without fees, similar to other instant cash apps like Venmo or Revolut.
Other shortcuts already introduced by the instant messaging app include silent notifications in chat groups and tagging everyone in the chat. The shortcut @everyone allows users to notify all group participants in the chat for important announcements and maximum exposure. The /silent shortcut (also available on Instagram as @silent) allows users to send silent notifications in group chats. Messenger customers already have the option to mute notifications and push-up messages from private and chat groups.
