Stickers are in. This advanced version of emojis lets us express happiness, joy, sadness, anger, and tons of other moods. Facebook Messenger integrates a huge library of stickers that we can use in both individual and group conversations.

To use a sticker, open any conversation. Then, tap on the smiley face icon.
