Facebook has announced major changes to its products this week at it’s annual F8 keynote, and chief among them are updates to the Facebook Messenger app and WhatsApp. Facebook aims to overhaul Messenger while also enhancing WhatsApp.
Last year, Facebook showed off Messenger 4, and since then it’s added dark mode, the ability to unsend messages, augmented reality features and more. Now, Facebook is aiming for considerable changes to the platform.
After considerable backlash within the past two years over Facebook’s handling of sensitive personal data, the company is making a large push toward privacy.
