Last year, Facebook was reportedly considering cross-platform chat integration between WhatsApp, Facebook Messenger, and Instagram. Now, WABetaInfo has discovered evidence of cross chat support between Facebook Messenger and WhatsApp in the latest version of Facebook Messenger.
The hints reveal how Facebook is working on a way to contact WhatsApp users through the Messenger. This will enable WhatsApp users to chat with people on Facebook Messenger without an account.
WABetaInfo explains that it found a database on Facebook Messenger, which will allow Messenger to understand whether WhatsApp contacts are blocked. It will also contain details on the state of a chat and whether push notifications are active.
However, chat content itself is not stored in this database yet.
