On the other hand, if it were a video without sound, the duration of the shared content would be the length of the video itself. Manuel Ramirez The Free Android This WhatsApp music experience is practically identical to Instagram and it is because Meta has expanded its usage rights agreement with Universal Music Group just last year in August according to TechCrunchso that millions in Spain can enjoy their musical content from the most installed chat app.

It is no longer independent, it is already connected with Facebook and Instagram

If the user can be happy about new updates that allow you to create better statuses with your favorite songswhat WhatsApp has just announced breaks one of the biggest rules of the chat app since it It was purchased in 2014: your independence. Meta has announced that they will be able share WhatsApp statuses directly on Instagram and Facebook. And a line has been crossed that in some way has drawn its own, unique and independent territory, since until now Meta had left WhatsApp outside the ecosystem of its social networks. Everything was in the messaging app private. On Instagram and Facebook the game has been different, since when you create a story you can publish it directly on both (although there is always the option of not doing so). Which saves time between two apps or platforms that are still social networks, but WhatsApp has been characterized by being a private and simple messaging app so that now that feeling is completely diluted security. Instagram and Facebook are two more public social networks and WhatsApp has always remained in the area of ​​privacy and that space that is more personal to the person. Building a bridge with social networks puts uncertainty in what has always been its most important experience: being a private messaging app. Today’s announcement changes everything, as the account center is going to start supporting WhatsApp so that status updates can be forwarded or posted on all platforms where the user has an account. That border has been completely crossed, and in fact Meta has warned that those users who may fear for their privacy should not worry about anything, since none of these changes will affect the privacy and security of their messages.
