Facebook is currently developing a strategy to unify its three main messaging platforms: WhatsApp, Instagram, and Messenger. An unprecedented movement that would bring together under a common platform – not as a single application – to a huge volume of users.
It is revealed today by The New York Times, describing this action taken by Mark Zuckerberg himself and that, as mentioned, doesn’t mean the merger of the three applications, continued operating as individual services. Instead, what is intended to create is a common infrastructure so that users of the apps can connect with each other without having to be registered in all three as well, allowing to send messages from one service to another.
