Οι New York Times ανέφεραν τον Ιανουάριο ότι η τεχνική υποδομή που χρησιμοποιούν οι τρεις υπηρεσίες θα ενσωματωθεί, επαναπροσδιορίζοντας τον τρόπο επικοινωνίας για πάνω από τρία δισεκατομμύρια ανθρώπους σε όλο τον κόσμο.
WhatsApp has over 1,5 billion monthly active users, while Messenger and Instagram have over 1,3 billion and 1 billion, respectively.
In an announcement in early 2019, CEO Mark Zuckerberg mentioned Facebook's plan for a shift to encrypted, ephemeral messaging.
