However, now we go one step further, and we can Link our Instagram profile on WhatsAppthat is, if we add someone to give us their number, we will also know their other social network, as long as we want it clear, it will not be mandatory to share this information, not even have an account in it.
Instagram and WhatsApp more united
WhatsApp is testing in its beta version a new function that will allow users to add links to their social networks from the account configuration. For now, you can only connect with Instagram, but knowing the platform, and being all of the finish line, as we said, it is likely that it will also be added Facebook in upcoming updates.
These links will appear in the user's profile next to their name, number and section “About.” In addition, we can configure it from Private form Like the state, photo and other data, so we could select that only our contacts see it, thus preventing anyone from knowing our number, but we do not know it, you can find out more social networks.
Business accounts already have the option of showing their networks after a Verification processso something similar is likely to be implemented before the official launch, which could be just around the corner if we follow the rhythm of previous updates.
Of course, as always, it will be only for iOS, at least at the beginning, and it seems that WhatsApp puts a lot of focus on this system, since it has millions of iPhones which use the same brand, thus helping there are fewer problems Compatibility, at least in the beta test phases, so if you have an Android, luck may accompany you and come out at the same time, but what sure does not happen is that it appears before in this system, so We cannot reveal exact dates for these users.
And you, do you think this is something interesting for application? The truth is that for my part I see it well, because nobody is obliged to put their social networks, but if you don't care, and you want someone to look for you without having to ask you one by one, it is not a bad option, because of the We will see how it is finally implemented, although in the beta of iOS it looks good.
Leave us a comment with your opinion and if you will be one of those who leave everything public, or you prefer to give your social networks manually when you estimate it, never using this function.
