WhatsApp has reportedly launched a new feature that allows beta testers to add their Facebook profile links directly to their WhatsApp, making it simple to find accounts across Meta's platforms.
WABetaInfo, a WhatsApp feature tracker, reported that after updating to WhatsApp beta for Android 2.25.29.16, some testers will see a new option to add a link to their Facebook account to their profile.
Once the feature is enabled on WhatsApp beta, testers attach a link to their Facebook account to their profile page on WhatsApp. Once added, the link appears on their profile, allowing others to view and connect with them.
Users have the option to verify the link via the Accounts Centre to confirm ownership, but verification is not required, as an unverified link can be displayed without impacting the usage experience.
According to WABetaInfo, users can share it with or without verification. A verified Facebook link on WhatsApp shows a small icon, confirming the same person controls both accounts. Unverified links display a generic icon and full URL without proof of ownership.
How to link Facebook profile to WhatsApp
WhatsApp lets users control the visibility of their Facebook profile links through its privacy settings. By going to Settings > Privacy > Links, users can choose to share the link with everyone, just their contacts, select individuals, or keep it completely private.
Its public rollout to beta testers now indicates that the platform is preparing for a wider release in the coming weeks or months.
