Facebook Chat Heads, Stickers Come To IPhone

Facebook_Chat_Heads_iOSFacebook for iOS is getting chat heads and stickers. Chat heads was launched recently as part of the Facebook Home experience for Android devices, and lets you chat on Facebook even when you are not using the Facebook or Facebook Messenger app at that moment. You may be writing an email, listening to music, or using a different app, and still be chatting on Facebook.

With Facebook Stickers you can add bigger and newer icons to your chat messages. You can tap the smiley to add stickers, and even get more stickers in the Sticker Store. Chat heads and stickers on the Facebook app for iPhone will roll out over the next few weeks.
