Facebook and Instagram's major update now allows users of both platforms to message each other. The change brought both apps' back-ends together, which means that users could communicate across the two platforms.
People can still send and receive messages separately if they want to.
"Just like today you could talk to a Gmail account if you have a Yahoo account, these accounts will be able to talk to each other through the shared protocol that is Messenger," said Loredena Crisan, Product Design for Messenger's Vice President.
"More than a billion people already use Messenger as a place to share, hang out and express themselves with family and friends," said Adam Mosseri, Instagram's Head, and Stan Chudnovsky, Messenger's Head.
The two also explained that they made the change because they want to bring some of Messenger's best features to IG.
