The new Discover tab is aimed at helping users find featured bots, nearby places and businesses
Facebook has announced that its "Discover" tab for finding featured
bots, nearby places and businesses will be rolled out for Messenger
users in India. "We are excited to announce that starting today we will
gradually be rolling out the Discover tab
in India, a new feature in Messenger that makes it easy and simple for
people to find and browse bots and business pages," the company said in a
statement.
Located
at the lower right-hand corner of the Messenger home screen, "Discover"
can browse recently visited businesses, featured experiences and
categories, with two of the categories expanded and rotated out on a
regular basis. Both the featured unit as well as the bots and Pages in
the various categories are refreshed regularly.
The "Discover" tab was initially rolled out for people in the US, at Facebook F8 2017
Developer Conference held in April. "After (finding) promising results
in the US, we have decided to launch the Discover Tab in additional
countries, including India," the statement said. The "Discover" tab
works with new parametric Messenger codes, where people can scan the
codes through the Messenger camera and link to their favourite brands
and businesses.
Facebook also added chat extensions to the Messenger
app that allow multiple people to chat with the same business at the
same time. Users can now add in a bot directly in a group thread and
share the conversation and experience.
