[bubusam13]

[sujoyp]

this is bad news ...now all FB friends will be in whatsapp and all whatsapp messages in FB ...privecy was the reason I started using whatsapp...and now they will be integrated

It's free now too. Yeah I know expiry date and all are shown, but nothing is charged ever Once you reach the expiry date it'll extend again upto 1 year

But this is bad news, FB may do anything, even if free, like other members stated above, privacy is now a concern.

FML... what's going on these days.. I curse you FB

 

[Ronnie11]

God damn it.Why FB why??Prepare for bombardments of ads on whatsapp and yes screw the privacy from hereon.

 

[abhidev]

They said it will still operate as separate company.... And I don't think they'll integrate whatsapp with Fb messenger

 

[sujoyp]

@abhidev I am sure they said for now...but FB will gain money by integrating FB chat with whatsapp ...it will be done someday soon

They have got whatsapp and going to use it as a billboard for fb game invites/posts/photos/likes/updates.
