Use Facebook Messenger Day Stories on Android
This article teaches you how to add a new photo or video to your Facebook Messenger Day story on an Android.
Steps
- Open Facebook Messenger. It’s the blue chat bubble icon with a white lightning bolt. You’ll usually find it on your home screen or in the app drawer.
- Tap Add to your day. It’s the camera icon with a plus (+) sign. This opens the camera lens on your phone or tablet.
- Take a photo or record a video. You’ll see a preview of your work when you're finished.
- To take a photo, tap the large round button at the bottom of the screen once.
- To record a video, tap and hold the large round button at the bottom of the screen, then lift your finger when you’re done.
- Tap the smiley face to add filters. You can select any of the fun stickers or masks to add to your post. Scroll through the categories (e.g. “I’m Doing, “Everyday Fun”), then tap an option to add it to your photo or video.
- Tap Aa to add text. This is great way to add captions to your photos and videos. Tap Done when you’re finished.
- Tap the squiggly line to draw. Select a color and start drawing anywhere on your photo or video. Tap Done when you’re finished.
- Tap the arrow pointing right. It’s at the bottom-right corner of the screen. This opens the “Send To” screen.
- Check the box next to “My Day.” If the box was already checked, you can skip this step.
- If you want to send the message to someone directly, check the box next to that person’s name.
- Tap the send button. It’s the blue paper airplane at the bottom-right corner of the screen. This posts your photo or video to your Day. Your friends can view your Day story for the next 24 hours.
- Add additional photos and videos to your day using the same method.
