The ads would come via a plug-in, allowing the app to show targeted ads.
Since the discovery of the 'technical error', Facebook has been quietly alerting users and shutting down such group chats.
Facebook may be planning to show you ads during your personal conversation with someone on Messenger, a freshly published patent has revealed.
The patent details Facebook's plan of placing targeting ads inside of Messenger conversations. The ads would come via a plug-in, allowing the app to show targeted ads based on the context of the conversation or location data, Mashable reports.
However, a Facebook spokesperson said that the patent was filed over four years ago and should not be taken as an indication of future plans.
