People will see Messenger ads in the home tab of their Messenger mobile app. Facebook says more than 1.2 billion people use Messenger every month and this will allow marketers to expand the reach of their campaigns. Messenger ads will start rolling out slowly, starting with a small percentage of users in the US over the coming weeks.
