Future of Messaging
summary
Facebook buys WhatsApp for $19 billion and recruits David Marcus to accelerate Messenger, which reports half a billion monthly active users and aims for a billion. Messenger rolls out richer media — photos, videos, voice clips, stickers, HD calls — and ships updates for Android and iOS every two weeks. Main risks are internal: executing wide product changes at massive scale, and external pressure over encryption versus law enforcement. Comparison to Asian apps highlights different approaches to stickers, commerce and mobile infrastructure.
