The purchase of WhatsApp by Facebook is already a fact. After becoming official a couple of months ago and having passed the approval of the regulatory commissions, it can already be said that the processor has finished.
WhatsApp is now an official part of Facebook and from now on many things can happen with the instant messaging application. Many rumors that have been heard in recent times can come true and we are going to reveal the keys and the different scenarios that we can find.
WhatsApp and Facebook Messenger separately… or not
You have to remember that WhatsApp and Facebook Messenger are two different applications, but have the same purpose as instant messaging.
In recent months it has been commented that Facebook Messenger could end up absorbing WhatsApp or vice versa, but it is highly unlikely today.
New features for WhatsApp
The purchase of WhatsApp means that we see new features in the application. It is possible that as of today WhatsApp will get to work and soon present news and among which would be included the announced VoIP calls.
This was announced in February, but as of today we have seen nothing but news and photos of the future functionality and it has not officially arrived yet.
But there is a key to all this and that is that we have not been able to enjoy this and other new features for the simple fact that the purchase has not already been officially closed. This may be the reason why we've hardly had any updates and important news in recent months.
Privacy
Another important issue to highlight is the privacy of users. We remind you that WhatsApp has long since removed a controversial option from its application that They showed us which of our contacts did not have us in their agenda by not showing the profile photo, something that ended up being eradicated.
Facebook Messenger is also in the spotlight since in recent times many users have realized that the permissions they Requests for the application are many and some are very delicate.
However, we have seen improvements in both apps regarding privacy. In WhatsApp, for example, we can hide the line status, the status and even the profile photo.
What do you think will happen from now on with both applications? Are you more into WhatsApp, Facebook Messenger or do you use both?
