Under the proposal, users of Facebook units Messenger, WhatsApp and the direct messaging system within Instagram will be able to communicate with each other, and end-to-end encryption will be extended across the three services.
Instagram ads drive much of Facebook's revenue growth, while the company is slowly moving toward making money from WhatsApp, which has surged to a user base of 1.5 billion people since its $22 billion acquisition in 2014.
Encrypting messaging systems will restrict Facebook's ability to see the content of users' messages, but the company has not divulged whether the integration plan may deepen other types of data sharing between the units.
The FTC was also known to be investigating Facebook while groups of state attorneys general are looking at Facebook and Google.
