Meta is testing a feature that allows users to connect status WhatsApp the Instagram. Thus, users can update once but it appears on two platforms.

This trial feature is being provided to Beta users who have WhatsApp Beta version 2.23.25.20.

In a screenshot at WABetainfo, WhatsApp is improving its sharing feature so that it can be integrated with Instagram. For the record, users have control over the content they want to share by setting the audience for their Instagram stories.

This feature that is being developed is said to help users save time when updating something.

This feature is optional, so users can decide whether they want to enable it or not. This means that users do not immediately share their WhatsApp status on Instagram if the feature is not activated.

To activate this feature, users only need to open Settings > Privacy > Status > Share my status updates > Instagram.

Instagram is a very popular app, and is even among the best social media apps on Android.

Historically, the app has been updated with several features long before WhatsApp. For example, Instagram users were among the early adopters of Snapchat-style Story updates in 2016. WhatsApp only adopted the feature in 2017.

While both these apps are broadly categorized as social media tools, people use these apps for different purposes.

Reported Android Police, Instagram can be used to connect with acquaintances and friends, as well as follow influencers on certain topics. Meanwhile, WhatsApp is a very private application, intended for people who can contact you only if they have your phone number.

Seeing these characteristics, it is quite confusing why Meta developed this WhatsApp Status integration feature into Instagram.

Furthermore, currently WhatsApp itself has provided WhatsApp Status integration with Facebook. This means that the integration of WhatsApp Status into Instagram will enable users to upload their status on three platforms at once in just one upload.
