From what (admittedly little) I know, WhatsApp still operates as an autonomous entity beside Facebook. Kinda similar to Oculus and Facebook or YouTube and Google.

Facebook spent billions buying WhatsApp. There is no way they are operating autonomously. Same goes for Oculus, and the same most definitely goes for YouTube.
