Facebook messengers gathered end 2019 or early 2020 We are only at the beginning of this vast project. It could be completed in late 2019 or early 2020, according to New York Times news . Mark Zuckerberg wants the three messaging applications, WhatsApp, Messenger and Instagram Direct, to be redesigned to share the same technical infrastructure. A real challenge, given the fundamental differences that exist today between the three couriers. Instagram was bought by Facebook in 2012, WhatsApp in 2014, while Messenger was designed in-house. Standardizing the technical base of these three independent applications should mobilize several thousand people this year. The promises of independence sacrificed for the benefit of the business When WhatsApp was bought out, the independence of the application was dedicated. Its co-founder, Jan Koum, said: "If the partnership with Facebook meant we had to change our values, we would not have done it . " The creators of WhatsApp have always done everything to limit the collection of data, the protection of privacy is part of the DNA of the application. WhatsApp also needs very little personal information to work, compared to other applications in the Facebook ecosystem. This same promise of autonomy had been made to Kevin Systrom and Mike Krieger, the founders of Instagram, when it was acquired by Facebook. A project far from unanimous This reconciliation of the three applications poses many questions internally. Jan Koum left Facebook in the spring, citing his divergence of views on personal data. The co-founders of Instagram resigned in the fall, as the idea of ​​Mark Zuckerberg - who was particularly focused on this topic - was beginning to materialize. Many employees are skeptical, believing that the benefits of such a merger will be meager, compared to the technical challenge and ethical issues. What impact on WhatsApp, Messenger and Instagram? We are only at the beginning of this vast project. We just know that Mark Rajput Status vediostatus.com Hindi | Royal Rajput Status | Rajputana Status In English | Rajput Attitude Status | Rajput Love Status | Rajput Shayari Zuckerberg wants messages to be encrypted end-to-end across all applications. Currently, only WhatsApp applies this technique which ensures the confidentiality of private matches. All three applications would continue to operate independently. None of the three apps will be sacrificed for the benefit of another, users will continue to use WhatsApp, Messenger or Instagram Direct. The fact that they are based on the same technical infrastructure could, on the other hand, facilitate bridges between applications. WhatsApp users could likely chat with Messenger or Instagram users, and vice versa. The three applications host 2.6 billion users per month. In addition to the benefits expected for users, this reunification of messaging could allow Facebook to strengthen its advertising model, consolidating data collection and creating new solutions for businesses.
