 <\/p>\n

The journey towards merging these two messenger services is now well underway, with users in certain countries already reporting the arrival of the integrated messenger system.<\/p>\n

But is this the end of DMs<\/a>? There are some people that believe that these two messaging platforms should stay separate, stating that they have very different uses.<\/p>\n

On the other hand, many people are welcoming this new update with open arms, eager to get their hands on this new messenger system that they say will streamline their DMs.<\/p>\n

\"instagram<\/h2>\n

Facebook, Instagram and WhatsApp Integration<\/h2>\n

These latest updates are part of Facebook\u2019s wider initiative to merge the messaging systems of its 3 flagship apps.<\/p>\n

Facebook<\/a> CEO Mark Zuckerberg has stated that he wants integrated messaging for Facebook, Instagram and WhatsApp, with end to end encryption and better user experience across all apps.<\/p>\n

Now that the first step of this plan is being rolled out, people are both excited and sceptical to use the new system.<\/p>\n

A small number of people have been able to access these new updates, but as is usually the case with all Instagram\/Facebook updates, the full-scale rollout won\u2019t be far behind.<\/p>\n

\"instagram<\/h2>\n

Instagram DMs Are Gone<\/h2>\n

Once you hit update, the infamous Instagram paper plane icon that stands for Instagram DMs will be gone, and it will be replaced by the Facebook messenger symbol.<\/p>\n

Facebook is also saying that the new chat window will be more colourful and more interactive, with swipe to reply and the one that everyone has been waiting for: chat with friends on Facebook.<\/p>\n

Chatting with friends who use Facebook will be a huge step, since not everyone who uses Facebook has been swayed by Instagram\u2019s temptations.<\/p>\n

So although our cherished Instagram DMs are gone for good, we are getting a much more capable messaging tool that shows promise for connective people across platforms.<\/p>\n

\"instagram\"<\/h2>\n

Is Social Media Merging A Good Thing?<\/h2>\n

Facebook purchased Instagram back in 2012 for a steal at just $1 billion, and a few years later they acquired WhatsApp for $19 billion.<\/p>\n

Facebook has some of the best developers and visionaries in the industry, and their aim is to use their knowledge and resources to create a series of interconnected products.<\/p>\n

This first step towards integrating some aspects of these systems is the perfect way to reach further and wider on each platform.<\/p>\n

For this reason it is great for businesses<\/a>, influencers<\/a> and personal users who just want better ways to connect with friends.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
