WhatsApp, the popular messaging platform owned by Meta, has introduced a new feature that allows users to share their WhatsApp status directly on Facebook Story. Similar to Instagram, this new feature makes it more convenient for users to share status updates across Meta-owned platforms.

Enabling Facebook Sharing on WhatsApp

To enable this feature, users need to turn on the “auto share on Facebook” option. Here’s how:

Share a media on WhatsApp story.

Follow the on-screen instructions to enable the share status to the Facebook story once the story has been shared.

Once enabled, all of your WhatsApp status updates will be shared on Facebook as well.

The new feature is being rolled out worldwide and will be available to all users in the coming weeks. WhatsApp has assured its users that their shared status will be protected by end-to-end encryption and users can choose who can see their status.

New Animated Emoji Feature is Being Developed

In addition to the Facebook sharing feature, WhatsApp is reportedly developing a new feature that will enable users to send animated emojis. This feature has been included in the most recent desktop beta and is expected to be rolled out to beta for iOS and Android in future updates.

The addition of animated emojis will make WhatsApp more engaging and bring it on par with other messaging apps like Telegram and Slack that already provide this feature. The app now has more ways to share stickers, GIFs, and standard static emojis, providing users with more options to express themselves.

Conclusion

WhatsApp continues to introduce new features and updates to enhance user experience and privacy. The new “auto share on Facebook” feature makes it easier for users to share status updates on WhatsApp and Facebook. Additionally, the new animated emoji feature being developed will make conversations more engaging and expressive.
