Facebook has updated the Messenger application for iPhone, iPad, Android smartphones and tablets (including Samsung, HTC, LG, Nexus phones etc.) with the new video function. In practice, from now on, not only can you send photos to friends in Facebook's private chat (which is different from posting on the bulletin board), but also video messages which, however, cannot be longer than 15 seconds.
Sharing 15-second video chats is similar to Instagram video sharing.
To send a video message to Facebook quickly and instantly, open the Facebook Messenger app, open a chat with someone and then, instead of touching to send the photo and choose a pre-recorded video, first touch the camera key and then hold your finger on the frame to start recording.
When you detach your finger, the video is immediately sent to the recipient in chat.
If you want to cancel, you can move your finger upwards, note that the frame turns red and let go of the finger.
You can also choose to use the rear or front camera by tapping the button before making the video or photo.
If you only touch the frame, then a photo will be taken and sent immediately.
