Did you know Meta Allows Users to Add Their WhatsApp Profile to its Accounts Center for Seamless Cross Integration Between Apps

 

Meta is finally unveiling a major update for WhatsApp users. The tech giant shared more on this front including how the goal was to enable seamless cross-integration from the platform to other Meta apps seamlessly.

This means users get the chance to opt in and integrate their profiles inside the Accounts Center. It’s completely optional, adding simplicity for cross-posting, logging in, and even getting data from other apps easily.  


The feature will start rolling out in a few months and users will see prompts to add the account details on WhatsApp to the Account Center listing. This already links other Meta profiles together including those from Instagram, Facebook, and Messenger.

The company shared more on this front including how it will share the option soon but is keen to remind everyone that their privacy rights remain safeguarded at all times.


Facebook’s parent firm shared a blog post announcing more details including how the approach is simple on the WhatsApp platform. Right now, the account remains separate from different Meta apps and no one can alter that. However, if you want, you can opt in by changing the default settings to help anyone who wants the features to work better through different platforms.

For instance, you might like to share your status update from WhatsApp to that on your Instagram Story or your Facebook Story. However, that does not mean vice versa is true as users cannot cross-post Instagram and FB stores back into WhatsApp for now. Who knows, that might be possible soon, giving users simplicity through the click of a button.

After this linking is done, users can log back into their WhatsApp accounts through single sign-on and the entire process is more streamlined. Some users might be wary about this feature as WhatsApp takes pride in its privacy and exclusion from different platforms. It’s remained focused on user safety from day one.

We can see how this latest update is a part of the company’s push to integrate all the apps under one umbrella. This gives rise to a single giant interconnecting platform. Similarly, some experts feel it’s Meta’s way of ridding suggestions of divesting both WhatsApp and Instagram due to anti-trust behavior.
