Discover tab works with new parametric Messenger codes, where people can scan the codes through the Messenger camera and link to their favourite brands and businesses as reported by Gadgets Now.

Facebook also integrated a chat extensions to the Messenger app which allows multiple people to chat with the same business at the same time.

Users can locate the Discover icon on the lower right hand corner of the Messenger home screen. This feature will let people browse recently visited businesses, featured experiences and categories, with two of the categories expanded and rotated out on a regular basis.

Facebook has further removed Facebook Direct and will now route all Stories replies and Facebook Camera messages through Messenger.
