Facebook strongly develops its Messenger application. Another change that will be introduced to it is "Messenger Rooms" option. This new option will be quite similar to a traditional chat - there will be formed discussion groups on various topics, where people will be able to talk with people completely unknown, who have similar interests. Messenger Rooms are developed because Facebook wants to reduce annoyance which results from texting about topics that some people can't stand. Currently this option is being tested in Canada and Australia.
