Group chat will get a bit less chaotic with the global rollout<\/a> of two Facebook Messenger features it was previously testing in Vietnam.<\/p>\n

Users can now @mention friends in a group chat to send them a special notification to reply to your message so they don\u2019t miss it in a noisy thread. You just type @, then the person\u2019s name or in-thread nickname, and the name will be highlighted and that person will get an alert.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, Facebook is bringing its News Feed Reactions to Messenger so you can reply by attaching a\u00a0love, smile, wow, sad, angry, thumbs-up or thumbs-down emoji to a specific message. This way you\u2019ll be able to simply express agreement, disagreement or an emotion about a particular message, even if a bunch of other messages have come in since.<\/p>\n

Tap and hold on a message to pull up the Reactions menu and select one. Everyone will see a counter of different reactions on the message, and you can tap that counter to see exactly who reacted how. Reactions work in one-on-one chats, too.<\/p>\n

    The \u201cThumbs-down\u201d Reaction could be interpreted as Facebook\u2019s first real \u201cDislike button.\u201d However, Facebook calls it a \u201cNo\u201d Reaction and told me that since people often use Messenger for coordinating logistics, it wanted to add easy ways to vote for or against a proposed plan.<\/p>\n

    TechCrunch first spotted and reported on a test of Messenger Reactions<\/a> early this month, and also saw that users in Vietnam were trying out mentions<\/a>. Reactions works very similar to iOS 10\u2019s iMessage\u2019s Tapback<\/a> reactions launched in September, and Slack\u2019s more expansive and long-standing emoji reaction selector.<\/p>\n

    \"\"<\/p>\n

    Messenger Reactions work the same as iMessage\u2019s\u00a0Tapback\u00a0reactions that launched last year<\/p>\n

    Doubling down on group chat is smart for Messenger at a time when it\u2019s been criticized for injecting social media content<\/a> broadcasting into the communication app via Snapchat Stories clone Messenger Day<\/a>. Messenger actually started as a group chat app called Beluga before Facebook acquired it. With mentions and Reactions, Facebook could use its better group chat experience than SMS to win users from the status quo.<\/p>\n
