According to her, everything indicates that Facebook is currently testing the private chat function in the environment of its main mobile application. However, the relevant area at the moment lacks some basic functions that users are used to from Messenger - reactions, support for voice and video calls, the ability to send photos and more.
Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg plans to merge private messages of all three applications under Facebook (Instagram, Facebook and WhatsApp) into one. In practice, it should look like that individual applications will be able to be used individually in the future, but at the same time, for example, Facebook users will be able to send an encrypted message to WhatsApp users, and vice versa. According to Wong, it is likely that Facebook will keep the Messenger app available to users even after the chat feature returns to the Facebook app.
