SAN FRANCISCO - Facebook Inc said some users can now send messages between Messenger and Instagram - the first step toward a full integration of the company's three separate social media services.
Chief Executive Officer Mark Zuckerberg announced the plan to integrate Messenger, Instagram and WhatsApp in early 2019. Mr Zuckerberg has also said that commerce is a big priority for the company and those efforts will rely on messaging for communication between businesses and buyers. Critics have argued that it will also make Facebook harder to break up should antitrust regulators try and force that.
WhatsApp messages are already encrypted, meaning Facebook will likely need to build that functionality into Messenger-Instagram conversations before it can enable communication between all three apps.
