Washington, United States — The instant messaging platform WhatsApp launched a new update that includes an optional feature that allows users to post status updates via Instagram, as this feature will be available in a future update to the application through its beta program within the Google Play Store.

During the beta version, which comes with version number 2.23.25.20, the WhatsApp platform continues to develop new ways to post status updates by developing an optional feature to post them via Instagram, in addition to the option of being able to publish status updates via Facebook.

WhatsApp is also working on an improved posting feature to make it compatible with Instagram, scheduled for a future release, QNA reported.

Users always control the content they want to post by managing the Instagram Story audience, and this feature helps users save time and enhances the reliability and consistency of posting content across WhatsApp and Instagram, indicating that this feature is optional, allowing users to decide whether they want to enable it or not, QNA report said.

Incorporating a feature that allows users to post status updates via Instagram provides many advantages, as allowing the option to post WhatsApp status updates directly via Instagram enhances the status update process across multiple platforms, along with the prominent feature of saving time, and users can perform the action in one step instead of having to create separate updates and post them via WhatsApp and Instagram, and the efficiency gained through this integration allows users to interact with the audience across both platforms very easily.

In the previous beta version, which came with version number 2.23.9.22, it appeared that the platform was developing an optional feature to allow the automatic publishing of status updates via Facebook Stories. This improvement simplifies the process of updating a person’s status across different applications, which helps users save time if they want to post the same content across both WhatsApp and Facebook.

A few days ago, WhatsApp introduced the Secret Code function, which allows users to hide locked chats in the application and not show them until they type the secret code in the search bar within the application.
