Meta: The Meta platform is reportedly all set to end cross-messaging support between its two services, Facebook Messenger and Instagram, in the coming time, which was announced almost three years ago in September 2020.
This information has come to light according to tipster and software reverse engineer Alessandro Palluzzi, who shared on social media that from mid-October people will not be able to chat with their Facebook friends on Instagram. Now the thing to be seen is whether this actually happens or it is just a rumour.
Tipster and software reverse engineer Alessandro Palluzzi wrote in a post on X (formerly Twitter), “#Instagram is considering removing the ability to chat with #Facebook friends after mid-October.
Tipster and software reverse engineer Alessandro Palluzzi shared a screenshot of a message, apparently from Instagram, along with the post. The message also states that existing chat threads will become read-only.
For your information, let us tell you that Mark Zuckerberg led Meta has not yet issued an official statement regarding the rumor of change but, if this step has actually been taken then it may be due to regulatory investigation because, two such Linking large social media platforms may actually be a violation.
