Facebook Messenger users may chat using WhatsApp
By MYBRANDBOOK
Facebook’s own platforms - Messenger and WhatsApp have more than three billion users and still different accounts and apps are required to use both the platforms. But it may change soon and as per news report Facebook is looking to offer cross-chat feature between its two popular products.
With the introduction of this feature, people with WhatsApp account but not using Messenger can chat to people on either of these platforms. The news source also mentions that the plans to connect both these apps could be in the works. These plans were first mentioned by Mark Zuckerberg last year, who planned to merge Facebook, WhatsApp and Instagram in a unique service.
The cross support feature likely to be in its early stage of development so it is quite difficult to predict if the final roll out will ever happen or will it be scrapped. The news source highlights that integrating might sound interesting but has its challenges. Developers would have to be extremely sure of its effectiveness. And if the tests don't deliver satisfactory results, chances are Facebook could look at other possibilities.
People might say that WhatsApp integration with other Facebook products could effect its end-to-end encryption. But Facebook has already confirmed encryption plans for Messenger as well. This will ensure user data and their chats remain secure behind foolproof encryption keys.
Testing at all levels is crucial for success of a feature. For instance, the dark mode roll out for WhatsApp took ages, only because Facebook and its developers wanted to be absolutely sure about its implementation. They did not want a quick roll out riddled with bugs. Instead, they took sufficient time and did quality testing before the main release.
