Where Facebook and Apple differ: chatbotsAPPLE Apple's Craig Federighi shows off how iMessage apps can let businesses into your conversation. Apple have taken a dash of influence from Snapchat, sure, but it's clear stuffed-with-features chat apps like Facebook Messenger and China's WeChat were their main inspiration. ANALYSIS: Apple are adding oodles of features to iMessage this spring, so many that it will soon look a lot like Facebook Messenger.
