2018 FIFA World Cup Russia Features Are Coming to Facebook Messenger

Special Camera Effects, along with updates to existing games

Facebook Messenger is introducing several features this week to mark Thursday’s kickoff of 2018 FIFA World Cup Russia.

Fans will have access to Camera Effects such as filters adding face paint and festive wigs custom-designed for each team competing in the tournament.

Users can open Messenger Camera, select the soccer ball, choose their squad and tap the screen to change effects. Messenger is also offering camera frames featuring the flags of each competing country and, as the matches progress, frames that represent the games taking place.

The Keepy Up on Messenger “hidden” soccer game is getting some World Cup flair, as well, as users can play with flags representing the countries of their choice, whether they are part of this year’s tournament or not.
