However, this update is still not available globally to everyone so some of us may have to wait until Facebook decides to roll it out to everyone but right now according to The Verge, the abilit to message Facebook friends is still missing.

Hopefully coming updates will fix that problem and make messaging between platforms easier as promised by Facebook who aims to unify all its messaging platforms including WhatsApp and have the entire system be end to end encrypted.
