Facebook includes a WhatsApp button in its Android version
Although both the company Facebook and WhatsApp agreed to operate independently after the billion-dollar purchase of the messaging app, it seems thatFacebook now wants to give a little more importance and presence to WhatsApp And it is that new clues have been discovered about the integration of both utilities through a simple button that can help users to share all kinds of content from the social network.
It would be a new function discovered through the screenshots of the application Facebook And, according to the mediumGeektime, the social network would be experimenting with a new button to easily share content fromFacebook through WhatsApp Something that many users will thank reduce the steps you have to take when sending a photo, article or content posted on the wall. All through a very simple button.
This new feature appears to be appearing occasionally in the latest version of Facebook for platform Android, the version 31.0.0.7.13 In it, at the bottom of each publication, next to the classic buttons to give a Like, comment or share said publication with any contact, this has appeared new button. An icon with the symbol of WhatsApp ready to be clicked.
With it, the user can share the post via the messaging app. That is, it is a kind of direct access to the previous method that forced the user to access the content and from there share the image, video or publication through WhatsApp, selecting the recipient of the shipment. Something that is now greatly streamlined with the aforementioned new function.
And you just have to press the new icon to open the list of active WhatsApp conversations and choose where to share the publication you've seen on FacebookSomething much more comfortable, easy and fast And it is not always easy to extract something from the social network to send it through other means. Something this simple button could change from now on.
At the moment it seems to be a function to test mode, without it being available for all users. However, it seems like a good enough idea for me to stick around. And there are many users of WhatsApp who would like to have this convenience to echo any news or content from Facebook
With this, Facebook takes a step in the integration with WhatsApp , although each continues to operate independently. But it seems that the social network continues with the idea of becoming platform, just as has happened with its own messaging application Facebook Messenger. And it seems like the most interesting option to make the most of and promote the messaging application that last year cost them the a whopping 21 billion dollars Of course, the expected economic profitability is still not available.
