This update allow users to share their moments Instagram, Gmail and Google Photos as well. All you need to do is just get an account there to start sharing.
There is a point where this feature lack, because when we share something from one WhatsApp chat to another chat. you’ll will notice that these are protected with end-to-end encryption. But when you share WhatsApp status on Facebook story that won’t be protected with end-to-end encryption. And Share to Facebook Story feature will only work if you have Facebook for IOS, Facebook for Android or Facebook lite on your smartphone.
