So Zuckerberg wants to integrate Whatsapp, Instagram and Facebook together.

Maybe this is his desperate attempt to make people to not ignore his own creation - facebook.

I just hope this integration is optional and won't be forced.

Uff.. If that happens I am going back to SMS.

I can’t be optional. They want to make a new single base system for all of them, so it can’t be separated anymore.

@irene Telegram, Threema, Signal, Hoccer

Signal, wire, LINE

How many of you guya use LINE?

@devTea I've never heard of Line but it looks like a Facebook + whatsapp kinda app?

I wonder what that actually means, because Instagram and Facebook are already integrated. You can post to your Facebook story and wall through Instagram. Let’s hope they mean close integration without sacrificing the autonomy of each individual product. Otherwise I’ll jump ship.

@Traser @irene it’s from japan tho

@linuxxx does japan ever broke privacy violations or tracking someone news?

@irene yeah that’s wechat, they do look really similar

@rEaL-jAsE I have no idea actually. But I just want to to send messages without all the social media stuff around it.

@irene to bad that other people want to stick to WhatsApp :/

Let’s hope that won’t happen.

We might want to disintegrate ourselves from those services

Source? Might need this...

@linuxxx https://xda-developers.com/facebook...

@electrineer They're not integrating the apps - they're integrating all backends into one system.

@linuxxx yep. Sounds like something Microsoft did to messenger and Skype at first
