CitizenVectron Posted January 25, 2019 Share Posted January 25, 2019 https://www.independent.co.uk/life-style/gadgets-and-tech/news/facebook-instagram-whatsapp-messenger-app-merger-download-a8746376.html?fbclid=IwAR2xf4h48Cw8FOnh8bDU36qYxh2RoOkgV13LuSRLvd-nmLPYXpjGAZkpsSc This could be good, or bad. I love instagram for my photography business (riley.lewis.photo, like, comment, subscribe), but I don't want it tied to other crap. Messenger is actually decent, but I wish it wasn't tied to anything else. And will this mean you need a facebook account? This is going to hit Whatsapp the hardest, I think (if it hurts functionality), as Whatsapp is the world's most-popular messenger program (basically standard in Europe and South America). Quote The messaging merger is a backtrack on Mr Zuckerberg's original stance that both Instagram and WhatsApp would operate autonomously from the social network. Also, all will be end-to-end encrypted. I wonder if that is in response to the revelation that Mueller got info from Roger Stone's Whatsapp conversations?

Joe Posted January 25, 2019 Share Posted January 25, 2019 WhatsApp has been saying it's end to end encrypted for a while now. At least on my app it says it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brucoe Posted January 25, 2019 Share Posted January 25, 2019 I've completely stopped using my Facebook these days, so not happy with this. I'm tired of Facebook being the default "don't want to use an email, then use us instead" application. I was looking at someone's picture the other day, and it immediately forced a sign in to Facebook (where I haven't signed on for a month now). Was not happy about that.

Dodger Posted January 25, 2019 Share Posted January 25, 2019 So does this mean that sliding into those Instagram DM's now means it comes out as a Messenger message? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Joestradamus Posted January 26, 2019 Share Posted January 26, 2019 This will be interesting to see unfold from the inside. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Greatoneshere Posted January 28, 2019 Share Posted January 28, 2019 I'm not happy about it since I like having separate logins for everything to keep things compartmentalized but this makes sense from a larger perspective. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
