WhatsApp to let users share status directly on Facebook

WhatsApp has launched a new feature that lets you share your WhatsApp Status to your Facebook story.

While the announcement was not made officially, users tweeted about the arrival of the tool.

The company, however, posted an FAQ on “How to share WhatsApp status updates to other apps” soon before the feature started showing up on some devices.

Users can for it by going to My Status, and tapping Share to Facebook Story. If prompted tap Allow or Open to open the Facebook app. In the Facebook app, select the audience you want to share with, and then tap Share Now.

This option can only be accessed if you have Facebook for iOS, Facebook for Android or Facebook Lite installed on your device.
