The messaging service WhatsApp, which is owned by Meta, is working on a new feature that would enable users to update their status updates directly to Instagram Stories.

The Mac Observer reports that although the programme is still in beta testing, this feature has been seen in both the iOS and Android versions.
This new function would allow users to cross-post material across the two networks, just how they may now publish Instagram Stories to Facebook.
Because this functionality is optional, users will be able to decide whether or not they want their WhatsApp Status to be shared as an Instagram Story.
It looks like users will be able to allow or stop this cross-posting using the WhatsApp app, while the technical details are still being worked out.
It should be noted that since Instagram and WhatsApp are two distinct platforms, the Instagram Story audience settings are likely the best way to manage who sees shared information on Instagram.
This new WhatsApp function seems to be aimed at improving user convenience.
The Meta app allows users to post their updates to both platforms simultaneously, which simplifies the process of changing statuses across several social networking applications.
Instead of needing to create and release separate updates for WhatsApp and Instagram, users may accomplish this in a single step.
