(On behalf of your friends\u2019 notifications, I beg you to please use this one responsibly.) However, if you want to send a message <em>without<\/em> pinging the whole group, you\u2019ll be able to use the \/silent shortcut, Meta says.<\/p>\n<p id=\"OCbwFo\">In \u201cthe coming weeks,\u201d there will be a few more shortcuts. \/pay will let you send or request money right from the Messenger chatbox and will be available soon on iOS and Android in the US. Type \/gif and a topic of something you want a GIF of to see some potential options to drop in the chat. This feature will be available soon on iOS.
