Zuckerberg Plans to Integrate WhatsApp, Instagram and Facebook Messenger

The services will continue to operate as stand-alone apps, but their underlying technical infrastructure will be unified, said four people involved in the effort. That will bring together three of the world’s largest messaging networks, which between them have more than 2.6 billion users, allowing people to communicate across the platforms for the first time.
It also underscores how Mr. Zuckerberg is imposing his authority over units he once vowed to leave alone.
At the time of the acquisitions, Mr. Zuckerberg promised WhatsApp and Instagram plenty of autonomy from their new parent company.
It was obvious right from the beginning that Zucky would migrate everything together. After all, it is so easy to see when he is lying: his lips move.
