It's possible it uses the same infrastructure in the background, but the interface is a lot simpler. It's just on-on-one conversations and group conversations period. The equivalent in Teams would be the "Chat" tab – if it didn't have all the added complexity that comes from Teams being so deeply integrated with the Microsoft online office suite (email, calendar, teams, sharepoint, onedrive and a billion other apps).
