Meta’s CEO, Mark Zuckerberg, has stated his commitment to smoothly merging the functionality of its social media platforms–Facebook, Instagram, and WhatsApp. The firm has achieved this aim by providing identical functionality across all platforms, such as the ability to post material on numerous platforms at the same time, similar to sharing status updates on Facebook and Instagram. This capability is apparently being made available to WhatsApp users as well.
According to a recent WABetaInfo report, WhatsApp is planning to release a new feature that will allow users to easily publish their status updates as Instagram Stories. This functionality, which is presently under beta testing for Android devices, was discovered in Android 2.23.25.20. According to the source, the function will be optional, allowing users to choose whether or not to post their status changes on Instagram, guaranteeing that this tool remains optional.

According to the article, the new capability would save time for users who usually share the same information across platforms. However, due to the significant difference in photo and video editing capabilities between the two platforms, Instagram users may notice a change in the quality of their Stories when added directly from WhatsApp.
Meanwhile, WhatsApp is releasing new features to enhance the platform’s user experience. The application, which is owned by Meta, has lately added a new AI conversations feature that allows users to interact with an AI chatbot. According to rumors, a button for beginning new chats has been placed above the symbol in the Chats page. This button speeds up the start of AI-powered discussions, giving consumers more speed and convenience.
The AI chatbot, powered by Meta AI, was first launched in September by Mark Zuckerberg, CEO of Meta, WhatsApp’s parent company. During this event, he mentioned that the business is actively testing AI-powered chatbots, with a specific market in the United States in mind.
Later that month, Meta published AI Chat on the WhatsApp beta version. However, it was initially buried within the contact list, making it difficult for users to locate and engage with it. The WhatsApp beta for Android version 2.23.24.26 now has a dedicated button on the home screen for fast access to the chatbot to expedite the procedure and improve the user experience.
In addition, WhatsApp is likely to implement a new search bar function in an effort to increase user privacy and connectivity. According to an image posted by WABetaInfo, this feature would allow users to find others by their usernames. The upgrade is intended to make interacting with friends and acquaintances easier by removing the need to give personal phone numbers.
According to reports, the future feature would allow users to choose a username, providing an option for individuals who want privacy and not giving their phone numbers. This improvement is predicted to be especially beneficial for those who value privacy and want more control over their personal information. Notably, username creation will be fully voluntary, allowing users to choose whether or not to use this new capability.
