Mark Zuckerberg explains why he wants to merge Messenger, WhatsApp, and Instagram

The separation between Facebook, WhatsApp, and Instagram is about to get even blurrier.

Speaking during the company's quarterly earnings call, Zuckerberg confirmed that Facebook wants to make it easier to send messages across its apps, but cautioned that it would be a "a 2020 thing or beyond." 

"We're really early in thinking through this. There's a lot more we need to figure out before we finalize the plan," Zuckerberg said.

Still, the CEO offered an explanation of why the company wants to merge the apps' underlying infrastructure.
