Messenger, WhatsApp and Instagram are all owened bu Facebook. Facebook is already working on merging them into a single app, to be rebranded in the near future.

WhatsApp and Instagram have huge popularity outside of North America

I get their desire to integrate Messenger and WhatsApp, but are they really trying to force Instagram into that mix too?

I’ve used WhatsApp since before FB acquired them but this is sounding like it’s going to get turned into a clusterfuck of stuff I have no interest in.

They are building a common protocol for messaging to be used interoperably, from what I have read. The apps themselves will likely remain separate from a user perspective, most likely
