You became friends on Facebook with a Spanish-speaking individual and now you have no idea where you are headed because you don't know Spanish. Facebook Messenger's M bot will pop up to automatically translate such messages between Spanish and English so there is less of a communication barrier, The Verge reported.
You became friends on Facebook with a Spanish-speaking individual and now you have no idea where you are headed because you don't know Spanish. Facebook Messenger's M bot will pop up to automatically translate such messages between Spanish and English so there is less of a communication barrier, The Verge reported.
It is part of a new M Translation feature and will be available for users in the US and Mexico. Going forward, support for more languages is expected.
Facebook will start rolling out autoplaying video ads on Messenger. At the moment, ads are rolling out to a small group of users and will have a global release soon. Facebook said in a statement provided to Quartz, “We will be rolling out video ads gradually and thoughtfully. People that use Messenger each month are our top priority and they will remain in control of their experience.” People on Facebook will be able to “remain in control of their experience”.
However, users will not be able to opt out of Messenger ads completely. They will be able to hide a given ad, report it, or manage targeting preferences, similar to the other apps by the company.
Recently, Facebook said that it is offering a series of new formats for its online video platform including interactive game shows, quizzes and polls. The new formats will be available to those creating video content on the social network, which is searching for a niche to compete against rivals ranging from Netflix to Google-owned YouTube.
One of the features from Facebook will allow interactivity, which could be used for live game shows or challenges which offer cash prizes. "We believe that watching video doesn't have to be passive, and that many types of traditional entertainment formats -- from game shows to reality TV to scripted content -- can be reinvented to be community-centric," said a statement from Facebook's entertainment partnerships team.
