Now a long hassle is going to be easy for WhatsApp users. Now they will not have to send their other social media profiles separately to any of their friends or contacts. Now a feature to link other social media profiles in their WhatsApp profile is going to come for them. The company has started rolling it out and it is available for some beta users. Let's know what this feature is and how it will work.

What is the feature?

Now the facility to link other social media profiles in WhatsApp profile is going to be available. After this feature comes, WhatsApp users will have to write the name of the other social media handle in their profile. After this the link will appear automatically. From here the contact can connect with that profile. Currently, only the option to link Instagram profile is available on it, but in the upcoming update, profiles of other platforms including Facebook can also be linked. After the link is added, it can be seen in the chat info screen.

Users will also be able to set visibility.

WhatsApp is also giving the option to set the visibility of the profile in this feature. After linking the profile, users will also be able to decide which of their contacts to show it to and from whom to hide it. Users can also keep it completely private if they want. Once set, they can also be changed by going to the settings.

This feature is optional

Right now, in this feature, another person's account can also be linked to a WhatsApp profile. This is not a proof of authenticity. WhatsApp users can link any person's handle by writing its name in their profile. Apart from this, this feature is completely optional. In such a situation, it is not necessary for users to link the profile.
