WhatsApp will soon take advantage of an optional integration with Meta Accounts Centre to offer a seamless integration across Facebook and Instagram. With this change, users will be able to automatically share their WhatsApp statuses on Facebook, Instagram, and other Meta Platforms apps. Additionally, using a single sign-in to access multiple Meta apps is said to be quicker and easier. The business also says it will add more universal features to its social media apps and notify users of the changes when they are implemented. Check all details here.

In a newsroom post, Meta Platforms explained how WhatsApp would be integrated into its Accounts Center over the coming months. According to the company, users still have the option to opt out of adding their WhatsApp accounts to the Accounts Center, making the move entirely voluntary. But doing so is supposed to make it easier to access features across apps. Updates from their WhatsApp Status can be directly shared to Facebook or Instagram Stories. This eliminates the necessity of posting repeatedly on various apps.

According to the company, it will also introduce new features like the ability to centrally manage your Imagine Me creations, avatars, and Meta AI stickers across all apps.
