It seems that Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg is not content with owning the largest social media network, having 1.4 billion users and counting, and having the most popular messaging app globally - let alone owning Instagram. As a result, the company changed the Facebook Messenger app into a platform with nearly 50 apps already running, which several users loathed downloading just a month back.

According to Latin Post, the news came soon after a notification was sent out to Facebook's F8 conference app - together with a thoroughly embargoed feature carried by The New York Times - only a few days following rumors about Facebook's major plans for Messenger.

Facebook acquired the popular messaging service WhatsApp for a record $22 billion - an app having 700 million users globally and counting, compared to 600 million users of the Facebook Messenger, while it separated Messenger from the core Facebook app, the company has focused heavily on improving the app as well as enhancing its popularity.

In fact, inclusion of third-party developers in the messaging app makes it seem much like popular Japanese messaging platform Line, which developed beyond its land of origin in 2014 when it was launched in Latin America on the Firefox OS platform.

The most recent move comes in the wake of Facebook adding a payment button to Messenger, enabling users to send money to each other instantly. Currently, with no less than the first few apps debuted for Messenger so far, users can send animated GIFs or even turn their messages into songs!

Facebook's Messenger expansion is certainly inspired by the end result. According to a report in the New York Times, Facebook will soon commence testing systems on Messenger for businesses to reach out to their customers and offer custom-made services, in addition to upgraded ad serving.

As far as the teasing "Teleportation Station" leak that hit the Web only hours before the F8 conference is concerned, it has been found to be merely a attractive name for a demo area at the developer's conference, which will focus on boasting the Oculus Rift.
