Previously, stickers were available in the <a title=\"facebook for ios\" href=\"http:\/\/facebook.en.softonic.com\/iphone\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Facebook app for iOS<\/a> but today Messenger will get the cute animal stickers. Swipe to delete a conversation is also back, due to popular demand.<\/p>\n<p>To access stickers, simply tap on the smiley face in the text entry field. There are a couple types of stickers installed by default but you can download more stickers by tapping on the basket icon. Users can also swipe left or right to delete a conversation in the list of conversations.<\/p>\n<p>Missing in this update are <a title=\"facebook chat heads for ios\" href=\"http:\/\/onsoftware.en.softonic.com\/facebook-6-0-for-ios-brings-chat-heads-to-the-iphone-ipad\" target=\"_self\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Chat Heads<\/a>, though it makes sense since the Facebook for iOS app includes the functionality. With Chat Heads, users can browse Facebook with a non-obtrusive overlay for easy multitasking. Facebook Messenger doesn&#8217;t really need this since you&#8217;ll be exclusively chatting in that app anyway.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-40884\" title=\"FB messenger combined\" src=\"https:\/\/articles-img.sftcdn.net\/sft\/articles\/auto-mapping-folder\/sites\/3\/2013\/05\/FB-messenger-combined.jpg\" alt=\"FB messenger combined\" width=\"600\" height=\"450\" srcset=\"https:\/\/articles-img.sftcdn.net\/auto-mapping-folder\/sites\/3\/2013\/05\/FB-messenger-combined.jpg 640w, https:\/\/articles-img.sftcdn.net\/auto-mapping-folder\/sites\/3\/2013\/05\/FB-messenger-combined-300x225.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>It seems just about everyone is getting into the sticker game.
