comment on the app,:
“At Facebook Inc
we continue to build and test new products and services. We already have many great
experiences for people to video chat in groups, or as individuals, across the
family of apps, including Messenger. We are interested in how everyone uses
technology and how we can build great experiences for them. We’re running a
very small test in Denmark of an app we call Bonfire. We have nothing further
to share at this time.”
This new app from Facebook offers ability to apply Snapchat-like effects. Apart from that, users can as well share pictures to Instagram, Facebook, and Messenger.
