It will enable others to see the content on your phone’s screen. However, to use this functionality, you need to allow it to capture your screen via your Messenger app. The feature in Skype and other popular chat services is already available. It also seems that Facebook is following suit.

The feature is currently being developed, and you may need to wait a couple more months to get a glimpse of it. However, Facebook will not confirm whether they will release the option. In the early stages, many companies give up experimental features.
