Facebook Starts Whatsapp Integration For Android Users by Tintinnoty(m): 6:37am On Apr 07, 2015
Is Facebook planning to integrate WhatsApp
Messenger into its 'Facebook for Android ' app?
Yes, this might be possible soon. According to latest
rumours, Facebook is reportedly working on it.
The social network giant, Facebook has begun testing a
new feature in its Facebook app for Android that includes
the first integration of WhatsApp Messenger, according to
a blogger.

WHATSAPP INTEGRATION INTO FACEBOOK APP

According to this update, a year after of acquiring
WhatsApp Messenger, Facebook has only added a 'Send'
button with the WhatsApp icon.
This WhatsApp 'send ' will work as part of the status
actions options that appear under each status update.
It means that Facebook for Android users soon may have
this particular version of Facebook app with a dedicated
WhatsApp button that would allow an Android user to
share posts, status and anything else directly through
WhatsApp by just clicking the Share button.
If rumours are true, the upcoming version 31.0.0.7.13 of
Facebook app for Android, which is not yet available
publicly, could have this feature.

WILL FACEBOOK MERGE WITH WHATSAPP?

From past one year, we haven’t noticed any Facebook
and WhatsApp integration, but this minor change made by
the social network giant raised doubt in users’ mind that
is Facebook going to merge WhatsApp with Facebook?
When Facebook acquired WhatsApp for over $20 billion
in February last year, Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg
confirmed that Whatsapp and Facebook would continue to
co-exist as separate platforms.
At that time, WhatsApp team also assured that nothing
would change and that WhatsApp would operate
independently.
However, this recent move by Facebook considered to be
the first step towards merging the two popular platforms
in order to take control of the popular messaging market
and sustain growth together.
GeekTime blog also claimed that teams from both the
companies are working on a deeper integration that will
have the ability to send messages between WhatsApp and
Facebook Messenger.

'SHARE WITH WHATSAPP USERS' IS A MINOR
UPDATE

However, the new feature seems just like a share via
WhatsApp app that is very common feature adopted by
different websites to make it easier for users to share
contents with large number of audiences.
However, how deep this integration will go for users of
both services will be known in the near future.

Until I can copy post on Facebook app, I'm not installing it on my device. I would rather use the Web version for easy copy and paste.

Sure, that means the Facebook chat app should have option for deactivating Pictures
