Facebook Is Continuing to Pump New Features Into Its Stories

Messenger is now more closely tied in

Facebook added four new features to Facebook Stories: the ability to start a group conversation about them on Messenger, Reactions, two new interactive stickers and the ability to view Messenger responses without leaving Stories.

When someone taps the reply bar of a friend’s Story, they will now be able to add other friends to the conversation and launch group threads on Messenger.

The creator of the Story cannot be removed from the reply.

The same Reactions that are available in Facebook’s News Feed can now be used within Stories.

Facebook also introduced flame and laughing smiley face interactive stickers for Stories.
