Meta Adds Option to Link WhatsApp with Instagram and Facebook for Status Sharing
The new Accounts Center integration allows users to cross-post WhatsApp Status updates and streamline logins across Meta platforms while maintaining end-to-end encryption.
- WhatsApp users can now link their accounts to Meta's Accounts Center, enabling cross-posting of WhatsApp Status updates to Instagram and Facebook Stories.
- The integration also introduces a single sign-on feature, simplifying login processes across Meta apps like Facebook and Instagram.
- Meta assures that linking WhatsApp accounts is optional and off by default, with no impact on the end-to-end encryption of personal messages and calls.
- The feature will be rolled out globally in phases over the next few months, with options available in WhatsApp settings or during cross-posting actions.
- Meta plans to expand Accounts Center capabilities, including managing avatars, AI stickers, and other features across its platforms.
