I remember reading a long time ago that Whatsapp will not include things like calling/video calling and will focus solely on texting. Why is every messaging app doing the exact same thing and why is there no inter-connectivity between them?
- thomasahle 10y agoThis. And now that Facebook owns WhatsApp, they could at least integrate those two?
- thewhitetulip 10y agoYes, why have both messenger and whatsapp. Additionally it seems they want to kill whatsapp, messenger gets the cool features that whatsapp should have gotten like the bot platform. Whatsapp is like an illegitimate child. Apparently everyone is on whatsapp, the bot platform should have been on whatsapp
- flawedluck 10y agoThey can collect a lot more user data from Messenger due to its facebook integration. So obviously, they're going to keep developing Messenger
- gressquel 10y agoGiven theres already furore due to recent data merging (fb + whatsapp), I dont think it would be a wise decision to integrate them further. People started using WhatsApp before it was acquired by FB inc. A fair share of these might just leave WhatsApp if were to be merged completely with FB messenger. There are plenty of alterantives out there.
- thomasahle 10y agoThey don't have to merge them. Just let them speak to each other.
