New Delhi: Meta-owned WhatsApp is reportedly developing a new feature that will allow users to share their status updates to Facebook stories without leaving WhatsApp. According to WABetaInfo, earlier users could share status updates to Facebook Stories, but they had to go through the extra step of manually sharing the update every time they posted something new.
But now, due to this new feature, the process can be automated for certain status updates selected by the users when the option is enabled. In the Status privacy setting on WhatsApp, users will find a new option, “Share my status updates across my accounts”, where they can add their Facebook account, according to the report.
Furthermore, the report mentions that this option will be optional and disabled by default. Users will be able to enable this option within the status privacy settings if they want to share certain status updates to Facebook stories without leaving WhatsApp.
Furthermore, the report states that the feature will allow users to save time and effort when manually sharing their status updates to Facebook Stories without leaving WhatsApp. Meanwhile, WhatsApp is reportedly working on a new feature called “Audio Chats” that will be available within conversations in future updates to the application on Android.
A new waveform icon will be added to the chat header, allowing users to start an audio chat, as well as a red button for users to end an ongoing call.
