Instagram is working to recommend downloading Facebook Messenger, as noted by the talented independent developer @Alex193a. This is likely in an effort to keep users within the Facebook ecosystem, as Instagram has been struggling in recent months. ..
This is a warning from Alex193a, a Facebook user who has used the Instagram app to communicate with other Facebook users. He says that if WhatsApp is integrated into Facebook Messenger, it will allow people to communicate with each other using a different app, which could be dangerous because it could give people access to sensitive information.
Cross-Chat Support with WhatsApp
WhatsApp is a messaging platform that differs from Facebook Messenger in that it stores chat information on-device additionally to end-to-end encryption. This is likely why WhatsApp is only allowed to be used on one device. ..
The Facebook Messenger team is referencing the creation of tables during a local database on Facebook messenger, which are needed to manage messages and services. There are also references to other elements that might allow Facebook Messenger to know which WhatsApp users are blocked, push notifications from WhatsApp, and therefore the details of a talk recipient.
Facebook is working on a new messaging protocol that would allow for cross-chat between Facebook Messenger and WhatsApp. It’s not known if Facebook will upload this local database so as to sync it across devices – one characteristic of the Facebook messenger is that you simply can send and receive chats from multiple devices simultaneously.
