WhatsApp is going to experience a major change in the not too distant future, because Facebook wants to take over all the data to run it from its infrastructure. At the moment, WhatsApp operates on the basis of its own infrastructure, but those from Facebook want to give up this system in order to support the platform with the help of their own data centers.
Such a change for WhatsApp would allow those at Facebook to have unimpeded access to data from the platform without anyone knowing what they are doing. If the entire WhatsApp platform will be moved from the current infrastructure to that of Facebook, then the Americans will know everything they do within the messaging network, without any person or entity finding out.
Of course, the change could also bring an improvement in WhatsApp's performance, because Facebook has an extremely well-thought-out infrastructure. However, the interconnection of the two platforms did not appear from the agreement made with the European authorities to approve the acquisition of WhatsApp by Facebook, so it will be interesting to see what will happen.
Those from Facebook have already been fined over 100 million dollars because they took data from WhatsApp, although they initially announced that they would not do this. If they integrate WhatsApp into their own infrastructure, then things could get seriously complicated for Facebook, and the European authorities could take even more drastic measures against the American company.
For now, the transfer of WhatsApp to the Facebook infrastructure is just a rumor, but it would not have appeared if Facebook had not had this intention.
RUMOR:
WhatsApp will use the Facebook infrastructure in the future: this means that WA will use (also?) FB servers to manage the connection.- WABetaInfo (@WABetaInfo) May 24, 2017
