While the features such as chatting, sending voice notes, and making video calls are all good, the messaging giant didn\u2019t make it easy to <strong>share your contacts<\/strong> with others.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In the past, you\u2019d have to <strong>give another person your telephone number<\/strong>, which would then have to be added to their phone, and then they could look for you on WhatsApp to start a conversation. Many users have grown accustomed to this method. After all, it\u2019s how we used to do things back when SMS was our only messaging option. Alternatively, there is <strong>also a QR option<\/strong> where someone would have to scan your WhatsApp QR code to start a conversation. Some users wonder why the tech giant hasn\u2019t <strong>made it easier<\/strong> to send your profile to others directly from the platform.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Meta, the developers, have responded to this by announcing that they are finally working on a way to <strong>share your WhatsApp profile<\/strong> with others much easier than in the past. According to WABeta, the new update might <strong>replace the QR button with a share button<\/strong>. By clicking on the share button, you\u2019ll receive a <strong>short link for your WhatsApp profile<\/strong> which you can send to someone directly through the app, or you can choose to copy the link and send it through another platform.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This feature isn\u2019t live just yet as it was only recently <strong>spotted in the beta version<\/strong> of WhatsApp 2.22.9.8. Judging from the description, it looks like this feature will <strong>only be coming to WhatsApp business accounts<\/strong> at the moment. However, a similar button may be released for individuals as well.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This isn\u2019t the only new feature being worked on for WhatsApp, as they\u2019re also experimenting with <strong>better ways to start conversations<\/strong> without leaving the app. We look forward to seeing this feature as it can make life a lot easier.
