Google updated its Messenger app today to version 1.4 and brought new minor improvements along the way. You will now have the ability to send fun little animated stickers and share your location in a quicker and easier way.
The new animated stickers are quite similar to that ones found in Facebook's Messenger app and come in different collections, such as “The Lovable Zoo”. They are definitely a fun addition to the app, and new collections can be downloaded as add-ons packages. You can find the stickers library under the attachment button.
Your location can also be shared as an attachment, and will send both an image of the map and a Google Maps link that will open the location in the Maps app.

Updated but can’t seem to find the stickers or how to set location.
The play store is still showing 1.303 not 1.4 like the article
I’d use it if they didn’t show all my messages in the notification bar
