Facebook Messenger and Instagram have been pinned together , more than one year and a half since there founder and CEO, Mark Zuckerberg shared his intention to merge the two gigantic Apps. Instagram’s messaging service, has been replaced by Messenger, allowing users to send chats, photos and videos between the two platforms for the first time. The goal of this is to Enable end to end message encryption just as in WhatsApp.

“We’re connecting the Messenger and Instagram experience to bring some of the best Messenger features to Instagram,” Facebook’s Adam Mosseri and Stan Chudnovsky, the heads of Instagram and Messenger respectively, said in a statement. “People on Instagram can decide whether to update immediately to this new experience.” Says Facebook CEO .

 The integration of the two apps requires specific user consent to allow their accounts to be merged, so Facebook is offering new features to bring close its users to their latest update.

If they accept the update, users will be able to send “selfie stickers”, watch Instagram videos with friends during video calls, and send disappearing messages. Facebook said the new features would be rolled out in “a few countries” immediately.“We are still determining how cross-app communications will work with WhatsApp,” a Facebook spokesperson said.




 “WhatsApp will continue to remain a separate, end-to-end encrypted app at this time.
 “If we do this well, we can create platforms for private sharing that could be even more important to people than the platforms we’ve already built to help people share and connect more openly,” he wrote.
