Facebook has rolled out a new Messenger feature that allows users to make group calls.
Over the last 24 hours, users may have noticed the appearance of a phone icon in group conversations.
Users can move group Facebook message threads over to a group call by tapping on the icon and initiating a call.
As Mashable points out, the feature makes Facebook Messenger more competitive with the likes of Google Hangouts, Skype and Slack.
