With this latest update, users can get location data of persons with whom they are chatting on Facebook Messenger. For this, users have to press on the GPS icon, which looks crosshair like, while messaging and you will get the location co-ordinates of the person on the opposite end of chat. But, there is a catch. To enable this, the user at the other end has to activate and use location based services on his mobile.

These new slew of features are making the FB chat as close to BlackBerry Messenger and Apple iMessage.
