WhatsApp Lets You Share Your Status As A Facebook Story: Here's How It Works

There are a many users who like sharing their stories on platforms like Facebook and Instagram. There are also people who prefer using WhatsApp Status. While Facebook is a space for sharing life experiences, opinions, images and videos with a broader audience, WhatsApp is primarily used for one to one or group communication, which also enables the sharing of images, links and videos.

Despite their unique purposes, both platforms have a common feature, which lets you 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.
