Best feature from Meta

The best feature Meta currently has is crossposting statuses from WhatsApp to Instagram and Facebook as stories. I really recommend this to everyone who no longer uses social media.

On the other hand, WhatsApp is not a social media platform. It’s a messaging app for chatting, discussing, calling, and maybe making appointments with someone. Unlike Instagram and Facebook, in my opinion, those platforms go beyond social media and have become marketing platforms.

In my experience using WhatsApp status and activating the crossposting feature, I can share my status and crosspost it to Instagram without opening Instagram. This really benefits me since I no longer have the Instagram app on my iPhone. However, as humans, we still need to connect with friends and relatives, so sometimes I post statuses from WhatsApp and let the crossposting work without consuming content on Instagram.
