Facebook has announced the addition of two new modes in the Messenger app's camera and updated the use of AR stickers enabling users to club them with photos and videos as an augmented reality object. Selfie mode and Boomerang videos are the two modes being added to the app's camera. These modes are already available in Facebook-owned Instagram app and users will now get to use them within Facebook Messenger.

Facebook states that it is making navigation of Messenger’s existing camera modes — Normal, Video and Text, easier. In Text mode, users can now use new fonts and coloured backgrounds and there are also new holiday-themed features like stickers, masks and filters. Facebook says that every day, more than 20 million people use camera effects for photo and video posts and over 440 million stickers are sent in Messenger chats.
