Facebook started offering features that allow it to celebrate the World Cup on the platform. As has already happened on previous holidays, it will be possible to activate animations by typing certain phrases on the social network: gool, Vai Brasil and Rumo ao Hexa are some of them.
The function appears in both posts and comments, as long as the user taps or clicks on the highlighted section. Facebook also prepared thematic filters for the camera integrated in the cell phone, among other functions related to the tournament. See all the news.
