WhatsApp Users Will Soon Be Able To Share Status Updates On Instagram: Here's How – News18

Mark Zuckerberg-owned Meta is reportedly working on integrating its two popular social media platforms, WhatsApp and Instagram. This means that users may soon be able to share their WhatsApp status updates to their Instagram stories directly.

The new feature is still under development, but it has been spotted in the latest beta version of the WhatsApp app. According to WABetaInfo, users will be able to choose whether or not they want to share their status updates to Instagram. They will also be able to control which status updates are shared.

“Thanks to the latest WhatsApp beta for Android 2.23.25.20 update, which is available on the Google Play Store, we discovered that WhatsApp keeps working on new ways to share status updates by developing an optional feature to share them to Instagram,” WABetaInfo said.

According to the report, after adding the option to share status updates to Facebook, WhatsApp is also working to enhance the sharing feature to make it compatible with Instagram, and it’s planned to be released in the future. The report revealed that users will be always in control over the content they want to share by managing their Instagram story audience.

This feature not only saves users time but also improves the reliability and consistency of sharing content between WhatsApp and Instagram. It’s important to note that this feature will be optional, giving users the choice to enable or disable it based on their preferences.

“We believe that integrating a feature to allow users to share status updates to Instagram can offer several advantages, with time-saving being a prominent one. In fact, allowing users to share their WhatsApp status updates directly to Instagram enhances the process of updating their status across multiple platforms,” WABetaInfo reported.

Instead of having to create and post separate updates on WhatsApp and Instagram, users will be able to execute the action in a single step. The efficiency gained by this integration will allow users to engage with their audience on both platforms more effortlessly.
