FB unveils Snapchat-like scannable profile codes
Facebook has launched Messenger Codes, a series of dots and dashes circling a profile picture that can be scanned to directly start chatting with someone on Messenger. The feature is similar to Snapchat’s Snapcodes. Facebook has also launched Messenger Links, short profile URLs located at m.me/[username]. Typing in a friend's Facebook username after m.me/ will lead to his Messenger profile.
