WhatsApp and Facebook integration: Here's why WhatsApp is now showing a Facebook login

Everyone feels, deep in their gut, that WhatsApp and Facebook integration is only a matter of time. Some of you may have seen the recent alarmist propaganda that WhatsApp and Facebook were merging because the WhatsApp's alpha web page was showing a Facebook login. Sure, that's one explanation, but WhatsApp has an altogether different one. Much less earth-shattering, but much more likely.

After catching wind of the fact that on WhatsApp's alpha page visitors are prompted to log in with the Facebook credentials, some observers jumped to the conclusion that this was conclusive proof that WhatsApp and Facebook were about to be integrated. Not so fast.

We contacted WhatsApp for clarification and this is what a spokesman had to say on the matter:

This link is an internal link and has nothing to do with WhatsApp and Facebook combining services. WhatsApp will continue to remain a separate service. The log in requirement is to ensure that people are employees. It’s the same thing you do when you log into your email account for example.

If you follow the Facebook login link to Facebook and try to sign in, it will redirect you back to the same WhatsApp alpha page. That is, unless you're a WhatsApp or Facebook employee with access to the alpha page's contents.

I visited Facebook's offices last week and the necessity to sign into everything with Facebook at Facebook (and the companies it owns) is very legitimate. If it's a cover story, it's a very logical and pedestrian one. I for one am happy to assume the two services are going nowhere near each other for now.
