Meta has announced a new set of Pride-themed features for Messenger and Messenger Kids<\/a>, providing more ways for users to engage in Pride Month celebrations.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

First off, on Messenger \u2013 Meta\u2019s adding new Word Effects, camera stickers, and 3D Avatar stickers to its existing Pride collection, which already includes various 360 backgrounds, sticker packs and chat themes.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

\"<\/p>\n

As per Meta<\/a>:<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

\u201c#ConnectWithPride using new Word Effects on Messenger, a fun emoji cascade to everyday words and phrases you\u2019re already using in your chats. Once you select the Pride chat theme, try out \u2018Beautiful\u2019, \u2018Queer\u2019, \u2018Community\u2019, \u2018Stand Proud\u2019 and \u2018Transgender\u2019,\u00a0or create your own Word Effects to level up your convos with friends and family in celebration of Pride.\u201d<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/em><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Word Effects, which Meta launched in Messenger last year<\/a>, <\/span><\/span><\/span>enable you to choose an emoji to be paired with a certain word or term, which will then spark an on-screen explosion of that emoji character whenever it\u2019s used within your chat (hence the rainbows in the image above). That can add a more festive spark to your discussions, and using the above terms, as Meta notes, will trigger an emoji response throughout June.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Meta\u2019s new <\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span>3D Avatar Pride stickers, meanwhile, will be available in feed and stories on both Facebook and Messenger, while its chat themes will be accessible in Messenger and Instagram too. <\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cLater this month, we\u2019ll also roll out a brand new sticker pack that invites conversation around support and love, designed in partnership with the incredibly talented London-based, non-binary artist and creator <\/span>Wednesday Holmes (they\/them).\u201d<\/em><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Meta\u2019s also looking to highlight inspiring <\/span>LGBTQ+ voices and artists, including actor and model <\/span><\/span>Kais Boukthir and performer JoJo Siwa.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cThis month, you can check out <\/span><\/span>JoJo Goes,<\/span>\u00a0a new hybrid docuseries-format that follows JoJo and her celebrity friends as they partake in some crazy fun adventures she\u2019s always wanted to experience but never got the chance to try before.\u201d<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/em><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

On Messenger Kids, Meta\u2019s also bringing back its Pride camera stickers and camera frame, as well as its rainbow AR effect<\/a>. <\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

\"<\/p>\n

Meta\u2019s also announced a range of Pride-themes activations across Facebook and Instagram<\/a>, providing a range of ways for people to engage with the event. And for brands, Meta\u2019s also releasing an <\/span><\/span>updated <\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span>Global LGBTQ+ Cultural Guide<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/a>\u00a0later this month, which is designed to \u2018educate and inspire authentic ways to support the LGBTQ+ community\u2019.\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Pride Month is an important opportunity to share your support, which can be a big thing for those within the LGBTQ+ community who still often deal with prejudice and bias based on who they are. A simple note of support, or even the use of a sticker on your profile, can go a long way to improve tolerance and acceptance, and it\u2019s worth taking that extra step with your own social media presence \u2013 personal or brand.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n
