This feature will allow users to share FB posts on WhatsApp with a single tap
Whatsapp
is the most popular instant messaging platform around the world. It was taken
over by Facebook long ago. But so far, there has been no meaningful integration
between the two platforms. Last month, Facebook expressed its desire to do some
rebranding exercise for Whatsapp to mark its transition from a standalone IM
platform to Whatsapp from Facebook. In a single move that aims to integrate the
two platforms in a seamless manner, Facebook has allowed its customers to share
their Facebook posts with their contacts on Whatsapp with a single tap. Customers
are excited to learn about this feature. They know that with Facebooksupport, it will be a breeze for them to use both the platforms smoothly at
the same time.
Mark
Zuckerberg has been working on his ambitious plan to fuse all three flagship
platforms owned by Facebook together for quite some time. It is going to be a
beautiful experience for the lovers of social media to have a single platform
where they can use the features of all three namely Facebook, Instagram, and
Whatsapp. Imagine being able to be present on all three of your favourite
social media platforms at the same time without having to hop from one to
another.
These
plans have received a big boost with a recent update introduced by Facebook to
its Android app that allows users to share their Facebook posts with their
friends on Whatsapp. This button titled Send in Whatsapp appears prominently
under all posts that have been made by Facebook users for his friends on this
social media platform. This button appears in case of customers who already
have Whatsapp installed in their smartphone. Facebook is able to learn whether
the user has Whatsapp installed on his smartphone or not through Android
Package Manager or API. However, API doesn’t share any data between Whatsapp
and Facebook. This has been confirmed by Facebook lately.
Critics
are quick to point out the fact that sharing of Facebook posts with Whatsapp
friends was possible earlier also. But users needed to go to More Options to be
able to share their posts. Now, it has been made much easier and seamless as
posts can be shared with a single tap. Facebook says that it realized the need
to integrate Facebook with Whatsapp because of the desire of its customers to
share their posts with Whatsapp contacts.
Online Facebook support
means that customers will now be able to share information with their friends
on Instagram, Whatsapp, Gmail, and even Google Photos. With this new feature,
Mark Zuckerberg has taken a step towards unifying all platforms under his
control under a single umbrella. There can be no two opinions about the fact
that Mark Zuckerberg is worried with falling revenues from Facebook. He wants
to compensate this loss by generating more revenues from Instagram and
Whatsapp. Both these platforms have registered increase in user base whereas
Facebook has lost nearly 15 million users in the U.S alone in 2017-18.
Customers
are happy but only worried about the security implications of this new feature
introduced by Facebook.
