The feature works for responding to individual GIFs, videos, emoji, text and photo messages, said the report.

The introduction of the feature comes just a couple of weeks after Facebook Chief Executive Officer Mark Zuckerberg announced his plan to make Facebook more privacy focused and merge services like WhatsApp, Instagram and Facebook.

"People should be able to use any of our apps to reach their friends, and they should be able to communicate across networks easily and securely," Zuckerberg had said.
