November 6th, marks the annual Stranger Things Day, a fan holiday commemorating the day that Will Byers disappeared into the Upside Down in episode 1, Season 1 of Stranger Things. Messenger has teamed up with Netflix to create a custom Stranger Things artwork. 

This includes “all new soundmojis and custom stickers for your camera and chat threads (also available on Instagram), a chat theme, and brand new Group Effects to enjoy with friends and family on video calls, including a 360- degree background and an interactive AR effect.”

“Messenger’s Stranger Things artwork creates an immersive, dynamic world for you to explore while connecting with your friends. Fans will recognize specific scenes and iconic imagery from the show…along with plenty of surprises! Is that the Demogorgon in the background behind you? Maybe. Does your fellow ‘dingus’ now eerily resemble Eleven? Perhaps.” says, Messenger in their newsroom.
