WhatsApp has introduced a new and highly useful feature allowing users to link their other social media accounts, such as Instagram and Facebook, to their WhatsApp profile. This feature is currently available to a select group of beta users and will soon be rolled out to everyone. This will eliminate the need for users to repeatedly share their social media profiles separately, and they will also be able to customize the visibility of their linked accounts.
WhatsApp's New Update Solves User Hassles
WhatsApp users have received some good news. They no longer need to share their social media accounts individually, as WhatsApp is introducing a new feature that allows users to link their other social media accounts to their profiles. This feature has been rolled out to beta users and will soon be available to all users.
What is the New Feature and How Does it Work?
This new WhatsApp feature allows users to add their other social media accounts to their profiles. Users will need to enter their social media handle in their profile, after which the link will appear automatically. Currently, only Instagram accounts can be linked, but future updates will include the ability to add Facebook and other social media platforms. Once linked, the accounts will be visible in the chat info screen.
Customizable Profile Visibility
WhatsApp is also providing the option to set the visibility of the linked profiles. This means users can decide who can see their linked social media accounts. Users can choose to keep this information entirely private. Users can change their visibility preferences at any time in the settings.
Optional Feature
This WhatsApp feature is entirely optional; linking social media accounts to the profile is not mandatory. Interestingly, any WhatsApp user's profile can have another person's social media handle added, as WhatsApp is not presenting this feature as an authenticity proof.
Soon Available to All Users
Currently, this new feature is available to some beta users. After successful testing, it will soon be released to all WhatsApp users. This new update will be extremely beneficial for those who want to manage their various social media profiles from a single location. WhatsApp is constantly upgrading its features, and this new feature will be a significant step towards providing users with even greater convenience.
