You can currently share WhatsApp Status only with other users on the messaging app. It doesn’t allow you to send across the Status to any other platform, but that changes with the latest WhatsApp beta update. The app has now gained the ability to share WhatsApp Status directly to your Facebook Story and other apps.

Since WhatsApp parent Facebook is involved in the mix, I know, you must be concerned about your privacy with this new sharing feature. The messaging giant says that you will not need to connect the Facebook account to WhatsApp to make this work (which surely sounds reassuring) and that it’s using the standard Android or iOS data sharing APIs.
