Facebook started its venture back in 2004 and today it has emerged into giant. After every success facebook has got into, the giant is making unacceptable decisions. Facebook was successful in connecting people across the world, the company is about to make it harder.
Facebook’s mobile app will be losing its chat facility, a move that will definitely annoy its users. It doesn’t just stop with that, According to many facebook watchers, this end of chat facility is just the beginning.
Facebook has confirmed that the instant messaging functionality will disappear from the Facebook app on all iOS and Android devices. This move is definitely gonna end up in angry users shifting to other devices. But that wouldn’t really be a matter of importance to the company, after the acquisition of over millions of users by the Whatsapp service.
Even though Facebook has seen good growth, it’s Messenger app has still not attained the expected hit. The removal of instant messaging from the Facebook app will definitely force users to join the messenger service in order to keep them live on Facebook chat.
Despite of all the facts, this move could be a downfall causer. By relinquishing all those chat users, at least for now, who won’t migrate from the Facebook app to Messenger, the company is making clear it won’t let today’s priorities and profits hold back tomorrow’s innovation.If facebook can continue to make bold calls like this one, it will undermine the idea,commonly held in technology circles,that the dominant innovators in one computing era almost inevitable are blindsided by the next.
