I actually think this is a pretty good strategy for Facebook. All of the people that care will move to WhatsApp and all of the people that don't will stay on messenger and earn the money. Seems like pretty much a win-win.
Or Instagram. Oh wait...
They own WhatsApp.
Really?? Source please!

Why Facebook will be screwed? If I understand it correctly whatsapp is owned by Facebook and also can introduce similar features of messenger any time. So migration of users from one app to another should not be a problem for Facebook. Right?
Yes you're right, the joke went right over your head.
I see. I see the point of OP now. :)
OP was being sarcastic in case you missed it. Your reasoning being the point :). FB owning the two largest messaging apps helps quite a bit.
