Twitter experiments with the WhatsApp Share button

The social network Twitter doesn't want to be left behind by other communication tools. That is why it is carrying out different tests and experiments to enhance its application for smartphonesSomething that, according to the recent tests discovered, could also be used by relying on the messaging application WhatsApp to attract attention and share its contents through it.A good strategy to make your content known through other platforms than your own application.

Thus, the social network with 140 characters has introduced a new button when sharing a tweet or own message. This is the icon to share through the application WhatsApp This gives users the option of sending the information published in Twitter in a comfortable way through a message from the charismatic WhatsApp, sending this content directly to alarge number of people All this in a very comfortable way and without having to look for this option within the application.

At the moment it seems to be just an experiment of the social network Twitter, since it is a function that has not been carried out the whole globe.In fact, at the moment only users from India are noticing this new button appearing on the mobile applications of Twitter for Android and iOS A taste of what could to arrive in the next Twitter updates and that seems like a intelligent strategy to promote the use or content of this social network among users who do not have an account on it.

According to the images shared through the social network itself Twitter about this new function, the option of share via WhatsApp would be taken to the top bar of the application with a simple icon This makes it much faster to select amessage or tweet and press this button to instantly access the contacts and recent conversations screen from where to choose the recipient(s) of the message.Included in this message is a link to the web version of Twitter to view that tweet or content. In addition, the function Share by WhatsApp would also be included together with the generic share button when clicking on a tweet, accessing more quickly the contacts you want to reach that message.

Apparently, this experiment would make more sense when tested in India because of the importance that WhatsApp is acquiring there, being one of the territories that is showing the most growth in the messaging application. With this, Twitter would take advantage of the fame of WhatsApp to publicize its contents and, perhaps , get new users.

However, for the moment there is no official confirmation from Twitter, and it could only be a test as aballoon probe to test the reaction of the users.We will have to wait to see if finally Twitter decides to make things easier when it comes to sharing content through WhatsApp , beyond hiding the function in the share menu within a tweet
