Facebook is testing a new feature under which it is looking to integrate the WhatsApp in its Android app for the first time. It’s been a year since the company acquired WhatsApp, and in good news for investors, it is planning to improvise on the app, ValueWalk reports.
The social network has added a “Send” button with the familiar WhatsApp icon, which appears under each status update. The new send button sits on the right side for some users in the latest version of the Facebook Android app, according to the report from Geek Time. This can rightly be called an initial move made by the company to bridge the two platforms to hold its footing and keep growing by taking control of the messaging market together.
WhatsApp, with its active user base of 700 million on a monthly basis, was taken over by Facebook for over $20 billion in February of last year. At present, Facebook Messenger has 600 monthly active users.
