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 Instagram’s messaging service, has been replaced by Messenger, allowing users to send chats, photos and videos between the two platforms for the first time.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.

Australia Takes on Google's Online Advertising Dominance, Calls for Data Shakeout

ACCC said Google's dominance of online advertising was so entrenched that existing laws were insufficient to rein in any anticompetitive behaviour. Australia's antitrust watchdog said it wants the power to curb Google's use of Internet data to sell targeted advertisements, saying the Big Tech firm dominated the market to the point of harming publishers, advertisers, and consumers. The comments, in a report published Tuesday, set up another possible showdown between Australia and Google months after the Alphabet unit vowed to pull core services from the country over a new content licensing law. It may also spur along an anti-monopoly lawsuit reportedly being prepared by the US justice department accusing Google of using its market muscle to hobble advertising rivals.
