Facebook and WhatsApp

Mark Zuckerberg's company has announced that it is studying the possibility of returning to the Facebook application the function that allows making both audio and video calls, functions that are available in the Messenger application and not in the main one. At the moment this function it is being tested in a small number of people.

That if, at the moment it seems that to send messages, we will have to continue using Messenger. Recall that in 2014, Facebook separated the messages application from the main application in order to add new functionalities, one of the few promises that Mark Zuckerberg has really kept, since Messenger has become a multipurpose application with a large number of functionalities.

Messenger Product Manager Conor Hayes says Facebook's new communication features are being rolled out to a small group of users in the United States. At the moment, there is no news that points to a possible expansion of these new functionalities.

According to Hayes, Facebook is starting to think about Messenger "As a service rather than a standalone application, which means that people will use technology in conjunction with other things, for example relying on Messenger to video chat while watching videos or playing games on Facebook."

Voice and video calls using Messesnger technology It is currently used on both Instagram and Oculus and Portal devices, as well as on Facebook itself.

At the moment, the company has not commented on whether the Facebook application expansion plans They also include the messaging platform, an option that would undoubtedly be appreciated by all those users who only use the basic functions of this application, since it would not require installing an application solely for messages.
