Anyone who uses WhatsApp can look forward to another update. In the future, the messenger service will have a function that goes hand in hand with Instagram.
Kassel – In order to offer its users the best possible experience, WhatsApp is committed to constantly optimizing its offering. Sometimes security gaps are closed with an update, sometimes a new version brings practical functions that make WhatsApp easier to use.
In this case, those WhatsApp users who are active on the various social media platforms - and are very active here - will particularly get their money's worth.
New update on WhatsApp brings with it a practical feature - sharing statuses more easily on Instagram
It is certainly tiring and simply annoying for many people to constantly post separate status and story updates on WhatsApp and Instagram. There should be an opportunity to do this in one go and with just a few clicks for all relevant channels.
At least not yet. But the WhatsApp blog
WABetaInfo
reported on Thursday (April 11) about the development of a function that should make this possible. In other words: In the future, WhatsApp users should be able to post their WhatsApp status directly to Instagram if necessary.
New WhatsApp function initially only available for Android users
This means that the proverbial two birds could finally be killed with one stone. It is said that the cross-posting feature is currently being developed for Android. But as can be seen in the WhatsApp beta 8/24/72 for iOS, it will soon also be available to those who use WhatsApp on an iOS device.
Anyone who can call themselves a beta tester will already see the new sharing feature in the updates tab. When the development including the test phase has been completely completed, the WhatsApp status can be shared with your own Facebook and Instagram accounts in the future. There is also a new feature on WhatsApp that affects voice messages.
“Believe that this integration will increase user convenience”: New update on WhatsApp
“We believe this integration will increase user convenience by allowing WhatsApp users to quickly and easily share their highlights with their contacts on WhatsApp and their followers on Instagram. “And without the need for a manual re-release,” say the developers.
The WhatsApp blog
WABetaInfo
also provides important information. This would be an optional feature. This means: If you are interested in it, you first have to activate it manually. The developers' goal is for the feature to increase compatibility with Instagram. In a future update it will be brought to the devices of WhatsApp users - and will probably save a lot of nerves. By the way: Three major changes to WhatsApp will take effect from Thursday, April 11th.
