Facebook is now testing its Snapchat Stories clone in Australia

Facebook has extended a trial of a Snapchat Stories clone highlight, called Messenger Day, to clients of its application in Australia. The easygoing sharing element gives individuals a chance to send delineated, channel upgraded photographs and recordings to companions which vanish in 24 hours — a la Snapchat.

A tipster, Ali Duff, reported finding the new component to us in the wake of upgrading the iOS application today — sending a couple screenshots, including this sprinkle screen advancing Messenger Day:

Facebook affirmed Messenger Day has touched base for a few clients in Australia, framing it as "a little test".

In an email to TechCrunch a Messenger representative said: "We realize that individuals come to Messenger to impart ordinary minutes to loved ones. In Australia we are running a little trial of new courses for individuals to share those upgrades outwardly."

It's the second market for Messenger Day up to this point. Before the end of last month the component appeared for clients in Poland, in spite of the fact that it wasn't clear how genuine the Facebook investigation was by then, and whether it planned to move it out to different markets.

Presently it would seem that the person to person communication goliath has ventured up the testing — taking Messenger Day to its first English-talking market. In spite of the fact that there's still no assurance the element will get a full dispatch.

That will certainly depend partially on how well it's gotten. (Duff's brief evaluation of the Messenger Day highlight is: "Facebook is currently essentially Snapchat.")

What's more, on more extensive contemplations for Facebook of whether it needs to take a stab at clashing with Snapchat in business sectors where the last is exceptionally mainstream. In North American, for instance, somewhere in the range of 60 million individuals utilize Snapchat every day now.

Facebook declined to remark on whether it will convey Messenger Day to some other markets, saying just: "We don't have anything more to report right now."
