WhatsApp lets you share your status to your Facebook profile with just one tap. The ability to cross-post your status on Facebook to WhatsApp saves you time and gives you a chance to popularize your content on the two platforms at the same time. This is similar to the Share to Facebook functionality on Instagram that lets you share not only your posts but also Stories and Reels on Facebook at the same time.
Imagine you made a DIY video and shared it or posted your favorite look from yesterday’s party on WhatsApp, but it will be visible to the people you choose to share with from your contact list. In other words, WhatsApp status is visible to people whose phone numbers are in your contacts, unless you have restricted privacy. On the other hand, Facebook Stories are potentially visible to more people who may not be in your contacts. Plus, Facebook is accessible worldwide, so your content gets more coverage.
On both Android and iOS, you have the option of sharing your WhatsApp status to Facebook Stories. But for crossposting to work effectively, you need to have the Facebook app on your phone. After you’ve made sure you have both apps on your phone and you’re signed in to both, follow these steps:
