Facebook to integrate WhatsApp, Instagram, Messenger
Facebook is planning to integrate parts of WhatsApp, Instagram and Messenger, as part of a huge technical operation across the social network’s collection of messaging apps.
The social media giant says the effort was under consideration in a bid “to make it easier to reach friends and family across networks”.
As part of the move, the company is working to switch more of its messaging products to end-to-end encryption, which makes it impossible for anyone to snoop on conversations sent between recipients.
As you would expect, there is a lot of discussion and debate as we begin the long process of figuring out all the details of how this will work.
“We want to build the best messaging experiences we can; and people want messaging to be fast, simple, reliable and private,” a spokeswoman for Facebook said.
“We’re working on making more of our messaging products end-to-end encrypted and are considering ways to make it easier to reach friends and family across networks.
