Now you can share 360-degree photos and HD videos too.

360-degree photos are now available globally on Messenger's iOS and Android apps. You'll recognise them by the compass icon on the right hand side of the photo page.
To take a 360-degree photo, select panorama mode and basically spin slowly in a circle.
360-degree photos are shared just like regular photos, and can be viewed in full-screen mode, either in HD or SD.
