Strategy of Facebook
With this move Messenger is trying to introduce something which is much similar to WhatsApp. WhatsApp has been acquired by Facebook by paying nearly $19 billion. Messenger is expected to have nearly 700 million users while WhatsApp is having nearly 800 million users. Most interesting part is that most of the active WhatsApp users are not register with Facebook. This is because WhatsApp has its own strong customer base in emerging economies like China and India. By introducing a similar platform for Messenger in the above mentioned countries, is another strategic move by Facebook.
They just wanted to control the entire share of world’s online chatting with Facebook Messenger and WhatsApp before Google could introduce something which overcomes their dominance in future. That’s why Facebook made updates to Messenger in such a way that it could function as a platform for chatting even by non-Facebook users. The update is made available from last day onwards. The updates are made available for both iOS and Android users.
