Mark Zuckerberg has been saying for some time that he would like to unify applications belonging to Facebook. It can be proved by the updates of applications such as WhatsApp or Instagram. The latest beta version of WhatsApp indicates that in the nearest future a new function should be made available to all users, which will allow for sharing your status to other applications.
The new feature will allow you to share status with applications such as Instagram, Gmail, Facebook or Google Photos. Application's developers want shared content for another application and its original content to be two different events, mainly for security reasons. If you belong to the WhatsApp beta programme, you can check the new function. The status sharing option will appear in the beta version just under the status in WhatsApp. The application allows only for manual sharing of statuses and probably automatic forwarding of them will not be possible. This is the intended decision of the creators of WhatsApp, because they want users to be able to make a separate decision each time whether they really want to publish a particular status in another application.
