Apple Music just announced a very nice-sounding treat for Facebook Messenger users
Tech firms team up to unveil brand new feature that will roll out across the world starting today. Here's how to use it
FACEBOOK and Apple have teamed up to give users of the Messenger communications app the ability to play music whilst chatting.
Starting from tonight, you will have the ability to listen to tunes from Apple Music while speaking to your chums.
The feature will " allow people to discover, listen, and share their favourite tunes with friends and family, all within the app".
All you need to do to launch the new feature is begin a conversation and then tap the plus (+) icon.
This will let you add a "chat extension" to the conversation.
Now you'll be able to share music with your friends.
If they have an Apple Music subscription, they will be able to listen to whole tunes.
But if they don't, your chums will still get to hear a 30-second snippet of a song.
