You Can Now Cross-Post Your WhatsApp Status To Facebook And Instagram


Sharing your WhatsApp status updates to other social accounts has been cumbersome, but a new feature is in the works to simplify the process.

Meta announced in a blog post that WhatsApp will integrate with the Account Center, allowing you to link WhatsApp with your Facebook and Instagram profiles. This integration will enable cross-posting of your WhatsApp status to both platforms. The option will appear as toggles for Facebook Story and Instagram Story in the “Who can see my status” menu, which will be disabled by default.

The Accounts Center is a central hub for your Facebook, Instagram, and Meta Quest accounts, accessible from the settings page of both apps for easy sign-in. Meta indicated that linking accounts will also simplify WhatsApp’s sign-in process, allowing you to use your social media username and password if your phone number isn’t available.

Accounts will not be linked by default and must be connected manually. Linking to the Accounts Center will not compromise WhatsApp’s end-to-end encryption, ensuring your data, chats, and media remain secure and inaccessible to Meta. Despite this assurance, I still have concerns about connecting my WhatsApp account with Meta.

I can see content creators appreciating this feature for easier cross-posting of stories. It could also enable sharing Instagram stories directly on WhatsApp, which I find exciting. What are your thoughts? Would you link your WhatsApp account to the Accounts Center or keep it separate? Let us know in the comments below.
