WhatsApp now allows users to share their status as a Facebook Story.

Many users like to share their stories on platforms like Facebook and Instagram. Some people like to use WhatsApp status. While Facebook is a space for sharing life experiences, opinions, pictures and videos with a wider audience, WhatsApp is primarily used for one-on-one or group communication, which also allows for sharing pictures, links and videos.

Despite their unique purposes, both platforms share a feature that allows you to share text, photos or videos with your audience for 24 hours, known as Status on WhatsApp and Story on Facebook. Interestingly, many users share the same content on both platforms.

WhatsApp offers a convenient solution that allows users to automatically share their status directly to Facebook Stories. In this article, we will guide you to share your WhatsApp status seamlessly on Facebook Stories.

Conditions You need to keep in mind

To easily share your WhatsApp status on Facebook, you first need to link your social media account to WhatsApp. This can be done by selecting Share my status on my account in the status privacy settings.

Once activated, your space can be automatically shared on both platforms at the same time, eliminating the need to manually send to each app separately. Once you’ve verified your Facebook account, you can create a status update on WhatsApp and share it directly to your Story without leaving the messaging app.

To use this feature on Android, follow these steps:

1. Open WhatsApp and select the Updates tab next to Chats.

2. Create a status update by tapping ‘My Status’ under the Status option.

3. Tap the three dots next to the status update.

4. Select Share on Facebook.

5. Tap ‘SHARE NOW’ to instantly send your status update to Facebook Stories.
