Share status updates to Facebook stories within WhatsApp

WhatsApp is developing the ability to share status updates in its latest Whatsapp for iOS beta update. This optional feature will reportedly post your status updates as your Facebook stories directly from within the WhatsApp app.

You must be knowing that this function was already available to WhatsApp users by using the share menu but it would redirect you to the Facebook app and you had to manually share the update by creating a post. So each time you post something new you had to take an extra step.

The company has added this new interface under ‘status privacy’ settings and it will reportedly make the process of sharing a status update to Facebook much faster and easier saving your valuable time and effort.
