Now an Android user can share their status updates directly on Facebook stories. This feature is similar to the option to share Instagram stories on Facebook. Now, WhatsApp has joined the duo with the same function where you can share status updates directly on Facebook stories.
Previously, in June of this year, some WhatsApp users selected in the Android beta program had access to the feature and now the feature is finally available for the latest stable version of WhatsApp.
How to share the status of WhatsApp as a Facebook story
Steps to share WhatsApp status as Facebook stories:
- 1. Open WhatsApp and go to “My state”
- 2. Tap the hamburger icon next to the status you want to share on Facebook
- 3. You will get the option that says “Share on Facebook”, click on it
- 4. You’ll see your Facebook profile picture at the bottom with the default privacy settings
- 5. Click on the “Share Now” option to share the story
Furthermore, you can modify the privacy settings of Facebook history directly from WhatsApp. You can choose the options to be shared between Public, Friends and connections, Friends or Custom.
Like WhatsApp, the history of Facebook will remain there for 24 hours. Even if you delete the original WhatsApp status on WhatsApp, the shared Facebook story will remain on Facebook for 24 hours.
However, you should already know that the WhatsApp update that carries a link cannot be clicked on Facebook, but will only appear as an image with text in the Facebook status. Because Facebook acquires the state image of WhatsApp and sends it as a story on Facebook.
