From what I heard, WhatsApp is still semi-separate, and still relatively small. They just let them be, for now at least. Which, IMO, is wise. Google has ruined many an acquisition by forcing it onto Google infra and letting the Google mafia move in.

As an aside, I like WhatsApp precisely because it doesn’t have a ton of “features”.
