Facebook now shows ‘Send in WhatsApp’ button more prominently for public posts

Facebook will now make it easier to share directly to WhatsApp with a new 'Send in WhatsApp' button appearing more prominently on public posts.

Facebook will now make it easier to share directly to WhatsApp with a more prominent ‘Send in WhatsApp’ button. Facebook has started rolling out an update to Android, where all posts with ‘public’ privacy settings will now show the WhatsApp share button. The move comes even as Facebook looks to integrate more with the WhatsApp and Instagram apps. It has been reported that Facebook plans to add its name to the WhatsApp and Instagram apps.

According to a press statement by Facebook, it will now make the WhatsApp sharing option more prominent. This feature was already present in the ‘More Options’ but Facebook says given the interest of sharing information on WhatsApp, they are making it more prominent. “We’re making it easier for people to share posts they want to have conversations about with their WhatsApp contacts,’ said a Facebook spokesperson in a statement.

Keep in mind that the feature to ‘Send in WhatsApp’ will only appear for people with WhatsApp installed. Facebook relies on the Android PackageManager API, which is present on all apps on Android devices in order to check whether there is WhatsApp installed on the device or not.
