Messenger users can now use QR codes, payment links with Facebook Pay

Facebook has added two other features to boost the Messenger experience. These include new chat themes to enhance conversations and a quick reply bar to make it easier to respond to the content shared by friends.

Facebook has added the ability for Messenger users to use QR codes and payment links when sending or requesting money with Facebook Pay. This means you no longer have to download a separate payment app or add new contacts to send and receive money from anyone.

To access the personal QR code and payment link:

• Go to Messenger settings > Facebook Pay
• Share the payment link or allow your friends to scan your QR code to send or request money

QR codes and payment links in Facebook Messenger are available to users in the US only.
