We were recently happy that popular instant
messaging app, Whatsapp dropped their annual subscription fee and it is no longer news that it is owned by Facebook who bought it in 2014. The latest news making the rounds only confirms
our suspicion that the app would be integrated with
Facebook. This is as recent clues indicate that
Whatsapp can now share user information with
Facebook. This new option is attached with the new
Whatsapp Beta build, is not easily accessible. The account information will apparently be shared in
order to “improve my Facebook experiences”. Facebook had earlier made public its intention to
improve user experience by creating a platform for
businesses to communicate with customers and
vice-versa. Also considering the fact that Whatsapp
just dropped its yearly subscription, this could be a
way of covering the revenue that will be lost to not having a yearly subscription.
Furthermore, there is a new set of service terms to
agree to, as well as, a new set of security
upgrades, that allow users to know if their chat and
calls are encrypted. However, it must be noted that these new features
may not be seen in Whatsapps official release of
the new version of their app considering the fact
that a Beta version of an application is like its trial
version, therefore, the features that will be seen in
the official version are features that pass testing phase.
What is your thought on this information sharing
option? Will like to pay for Whatsapp services rather
than share your info with Facebook?
