But according to Facebook head Tom Alison, Meta is ready to reunite Messenger and Facebook after nearly nine years apart.
We are testing the ability for people
to access their Messenger inbox
within the Facebook app and you’ll
see us expand this testing soon, Tom Alison, head of Facebook, via statement.
Ultimately, we want it to be easy
and convenient for people to connect and share, whether in the Messenger app or directly within Facebook, Tom Alison, head of Facebook, via statement.
Additionally, Facebook users may soon be able to send messages to Instagram users.
According to Alison, Meta is
trying to "make Facebook the best
place for social discovery and sharing.".
They want to "make it easier for people to share what they discover on Facebook via messaging, when, where and how it suits their needs, without needing to switch to another app.".
Engadget reports that the move is seen as an attempt to stay competitive with TikTok.
