[Ditty](http://www.zyamusic.com/products/ditty) uses [some seriously sophisticated tech](http://stag-mantis.wired.com/2015/03/new-app-facebook-messenger-turns-text-pop-song/) to transform plain text messages into popular songs. Some of the more popular songs are available as $0.99 in-app purchases, but being able to set your fantasy team trash-talking to Beethoven's Fifth is essentially priceless.

[JibJab](http://www.jibjab.com): Maybe you didn’t know just how badly you needed it, but you finally have the ability to add a picture of your friend’s face to a dancing Tyrannosaurus Rex or to Beyonce’s body, and send it off in a group message. At last, a solid use for all of those pics of your buddy with his eyes closed.

Using [Camoji](https://camoji.com), you can take quick videos, apply filters and text, adjust the speed of playback and send to your friends as GIFs. Have a friend that bailed on your get-together last minute? No worries---get together for a group GIF and send it as a group message. FOMO will make sure she never bails again.

[Imgur](http://imgur.com): Browse or search the most popular images on the web, then send them to your friends directly from the app. No more saving to camera roll or screenshot-ing---you can share the image to your friends in Messenger right from the app.

[Giphy](http://giphy.com), the popular GIF-sharing site, is using Messenger Platform to launch its first mobile app, Giphy + Messenger. Users can search, select, and send GIFs from Giphy's vast selection without having to exit their Messenger conversation. Looking for the perfect reaction GIF to answer the friends canceling plans when you were secretly searching for an excuse to stay in and watch Netflix anyway? Giphy has you covered---a quick search of “yasssss” provides plenty of fodder.

[Pic Stitch’s](https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/pic-stitch-1-photo-collage/id454768104?mt=8) Messenger integration makes it easy to share the picture collages you don’t necessarily want to push out to all of your random Instagram or Facebook friends and followers. You can create and message collages quickly, and share them privately, without halting the conversation.
