The company is testing a new feature, after introducing this feature, users will be able to share status updates on Facebook Story. This upcoming feature of WhatsApp is currently in development and the company has now enabled this feature to be tested. This feature will be visible to all users who sign up for the beta program. To use this feature, the user will not need to link the WhatsApp account to Facebook. Like other apps, it will use the Data Sharing API, which lets you add WhatsApp status to Facebook’s status.

Edge The report said that WhatsApp has enabled the feature for testing, which means that this feature may be released soon. The ‘Share Facebook Story’ button will appear just below the status. Clicking the button will take you to the Facebook app where you will be able to post the story. This option can also be used to post status to other applications like Instagram, Gmail and Google Photos.

WhatsApp is not connecting to both platforms to ensure privacy and security, but will only use the data-sharing API. Other apps do the same as Android and iOS.
