4. Make Free Calls With Facebook Messenger
Bet you that most of the people do not, till now know, that they can make free calls from Facebook too. It’s been one whole year (January, 2013) when Facebook added a voice (free) calling facility for its account holders. This is possible only if you download Facebook Messenegr app on your smartphone (As it is unavailable for web). Get it’s upgraded version from the Google Play, and thereby get connected with your loved ones by clicking on the call button made on the top right of its window.
5. Use Your Face Instead Of Facebook Emoticon
People nowadays are more into conversing with each other using emoticons (smileys). Smileys definitely adds flavor in chit-chatting with your loved ones. But now, you can also use your own face as emoticon or smiley. All you need to do is to visit any FB profile, official page, etc. which you want to use as the expression, and then place your username within double square brackets [[Rickymartin]] then enter the same in the Facebook chat box and see the magic!
6. Don’t Let Anyone See Your Friend List
Sometimes you want to keep it a secret who all are there on your list! Yes I do believe, that the friend-list should be hidden from others. You just need to login to your FB profile and then straight away go to your Friend’s list and tick down the ‘edit’ option. Clicking on it will serve you a dropdown option on which you need to choose the ‘edit privacy’ option. This enable you to see a ‘pop-up’ from where you can change the by-default ‘Public’ (can be visible to everyone) option to ‘Only me’. Similarly you can hide your Followings and Followers list.

7. Make Your Facebook DP Non-Accessible To Others
This is as simple as the earlier option. Most of the people (especially females) have a fear of setting their own picture as their Display Picture (DP). Yes it is impossible to hide your Facebook Profile Picture but you can absolutely make it un-clickable or probably non-accessible to others so that no one can copy, like or post their comment on it. Just select your DP and change its setting from ‘Public’ to ‘Only me’.
8. Make Your Facebook Status or Chat Messages Flow Upside Down
This is real fun! Trick your friends by chatting with them hanging upside down. Confused? This means you can play prank by updating your status or posting anything in a way that the person who is reading it would have to flip itself to see it because whatever you will type will be seen in inverted version.
How? Just click here and type anything then copy the overturned text from there and paste it as your status or in the chat text box.
9. Download The Entire Album In No Time
Suppose you want to copy and save the entire photo album of a particular event that your friends have uploaded on FB. Ideally you cannot download the entire album, posted by someone on Facebook, at a time. Or if you copy it one by one it will take whole of your day to do that. So here is a smartest idea to do it. Download and Make FB FacePAD as your browser extension. Now, you can quickly download the entire set of pictures with just few clicks.

Downloading images from FB is my Hobby 😛 for Learning Composition and Editing. Hope this will reduce my workload 😀
Thanks Peter for sharing.
It kind of stresses me out whenever I receive a message on facebook. Sometimes I just have no comments when my friend says something totally irrelevant, but she will end up questioning why I’m ignoring her. A “no comment” status will do the trick for me.
The plugin comes in handy when dealing with dramatic, sensitive friends. The default “seen” status can stir your conversation a little out of context if you don’t reply promptly.
I use Skype to make phone calls with some of my contacts who don’t subscribe to phone lines. I’ve never used the facebook messenger’s version as most of my friends don’t even have the messenger app. The fact that they don’t need to register another account to use the function is appealing; it’d be fun to give them a surprise call.
Skype can, in addition reach landlines, though you still have to pay for this function. Facebook’s call function is a good and quick alternative to chat with your voice, while still keeping you connected with your Facebook content.
