Snap a Picture Using Facebook Messenger

This Tutorial addresses:
  • Messenger
  • Cameras
  • Facebook
Apart from searching and sending the pictures from the web, Facebook Messenger also allows you to snap a picture from your mobile camera and send the picture to the selected Facebook contact instantaneously.

The only difference while snapping a picture from the camera and sending any other picture from the Internet is that in the latter one, you need to conduct an online search to pick the picture of your choice to send.

You can simply switch the Messenger to the camera mode, take a snap and send it to the selected contact.
