Facebook lets users send each other cash via Messenger app
Facebook is believed to be mulling the introduction of a tool which will allow users to attach cash to a message in the same way that they would attach a video or picture.
Sky has reported that the tool – as yet unannounced – was discovered by a computer science student at Stanford, Andrew Aude, who was using app exploration developer tool Cycript.
The app would use card details registered with Facebook by default, or allow users to input new card details.
However, it is currently unclear if Facebook would charge users for this service.
This comes as Yahoo is said to be investing Snapchat – a company which Facebook attempted to buy for $3bn (£1.8bn) last year.
Facebook did not comment on the cash-sending rumours.
