Facebook begins testing WhatsApp integration

By
Lasting year, Facebook purchased WhatsApp for $19 billion and is now testing some level of integration between the two services. 
In a new version 31.0.0.7.13 of its Android app, a new option allows users to send and share news directly to WhatsApp.


There is a new “send” button alongside the usual options to a post. You can then share the item with a user in your WhatsApp contact list. This feature is only available to beta testers and will make it's way to final version after response from testers.

WhatsApp CEO Jan Koum stated that the app would continue to function independently, but that doesn’t mean that the two apps couldn’t begin to share some common features.

Being said that, there's very little options they can be integrated as facebook already has messenger as it's main IM platform. Only time could tell how far the two services will be integrated.
