WhatsApp’s latest beta adds a brand new feature that is sure to be at least a little bit controversial: sharing your status to your Facebook Story. This but doesn’t imply linking your WhatsApp user ID to your Facebook account, the company insists, as it’s using the quality android and iOS data sharing apis.
That means you’ll conjointly share your WhatsApp status to other apps – Instagram, Gmail, Google Photos, and so on. And once you do share knowledge to a different Facebook-owned service like Instagram, the corporate says the two posts are separate events in its systems, and can not be linked.
The sharing possibility can show up beneath your status if you’re within the WhatsApp beta program. just in case you are speculative what this can be all concerning, status is what WhatsApp calls its version of Stories – a place wherever you’ll post images, text, and videos on your profile that disappear after 24 hours. This sub-feature of WhatsApp currently has over 500 million daily active users, and next year it’ll be the first place wherever you will see ads in WhatsApp.
You have to manually share your status with another app, there is no way to make that automatic. this can be by design, as apparently WhatsApp desires the feature to be an active decision on your part, and not one thing you set once and then dump.
