WhatsApp is currently in the process of developing a new functionality that will enable users to share their WhatsApp Status updates directly to Instagram.
This mirrors the existing capability of sharing Instagram Stories on Facebook. Notably, this feature is currently in its beta phase, as observed in the beta version of the WhatsApp Android app.
While a specific release date has not been confirmed, the beta status suggests that the feature will be deployed in the near future.
This latest addition aligns with Mark Zuckerberg’s overarching vision of achieving cross-platform compatibility across all Meta applications.

In parallel, WhatsApp is also actively developing another intriguing feature, allowing users to search for contacts or messages using usernames.
