<p>The New York Times is reporting (https://www.nytimes.com/2019/01/25/technology/facebook-instagram-whatsapp-messenger.html) that Facebook plans to combine messaging services across its applications, merging chats from WhatsApp, Instagram and Messenger. A WhatsApp user would be able to start a chat with an Instagram user, breaking down barriers between Facebook’s social platforms.</p>
<p>A Messenger user would be able to send an end-to-end encrypted conversation with someone who only has a WhatsApp account for instance. Messenger, Instagram and WhatsApp will remain separate apps on the home screen but the common messaging features will be unified. <a href="https://9to5mac.com/2019/01/25/facebook-reportedly-plans-to-merge-whatsapp-instagram-and-messenger-chats/#more-575990" class="more-link">more…[/url]</p>
