WhatsApp will be able to host Instagram stories directly into its application. The feature is being tested and we can expect a launch in the coming months. Instagram stories have already appeared in Facebook and should therefore gain more visibility. What we spend even more time on the environment Facebook-WhatsApp-Instagram.

A new feature to share Instagram stories directly on WhatsApp is being tested in early January 2018, TechCrunch tells us. Users will be able to use their Instagram story as a WhatsApp status. Like the messages and content published through the instant messaging application, Instagram stories will be encrypted once shared on WhatsApp.

Instagram stories directly on WhatsApp


"We are always testing ways to improve the Instagram experience and make it easy to share with anyone you care about," said a spokesperson. To send an Instagram story to WhatsApp, users will have to go through the Instagram sharing menu and select "Share on WhatsApp". They will then have to validate the operation directly on the email application.

A small number of users can already benefit from the feature, which should be expanded in the coming weeks and months to become the norm. The stories have already landed on Facebook and Instagram ties were strengthened in the United States in October 2017. It is the turn of WhatsApp to spend, confirming the will to Facebook to create a Facebook-Messenger- eco-system WhatsApp-Instagram ultra-dominant in the social networking market and messaging applications.

Originally, it was of course Snapchat that had launched the stories, a feature much appreciated since taken over by its competitors. Instagram stories are even more popular than Snapchat's now. Even YouTube wants to go with Reels, an adaptation of stories that allow creators to share short videos to keep in touch with their community.

WhatsApp, the famous instant messaging application has just broken a new record: up to 75 billion messages sent during the New Year's Eve 2018. You have been very many to use the platform to wish your best wishes. This is also the first time that WhatsApp has been recording so many messages in one day.


The email application owned by Facebook enjoys undeniable popularity. Regularly updated with many new features, such as the ability to delete a message already sent within 7 minutes, WhatsApp draws its strength from its responsiveness and ability to evolve. Listening to its community of 1 billion daily active users, WhatsApp has no equal: neither Facebook Messenger nor Skype arouse the same craze.

On New Year's Eve in 2016, WhatsApp set a new record: 63 billion messages were sent through the app. According to a WhatsApp spokesperson at the VentureBeat website, this year, WhatsApp has smashed its own record with 75 billion messages sent on New Year's Eve. According to WhatsApp, you have traded up to 13 billion images and up to 5 billion videos. You have also been very numerous to use the WhatsApp Status function, which allows you to send ephemeral messages, just like the story of its competitor Snapchat.

This record is all the more impressive as during the evening of the New Year's Eve, WhatsApp suffered from some dysfunctions. The e-mail application has been off-line for more than an hour in some parts of the world, as confirmed by the Downdetector website. This is not the first time the email application has failed, a victim of its success. On August 31, 2017, WhatsApp was indeed inaccessible worldwide. A similar bug was recorded during the 2015 New Year.

A few years ago, many of us used the traditional SMS to celebrate a happy new year for our acquaintances and friends. Remember: for a long time, the telephone network was wayward. Nowadays, we now favor an email application like WhatsApp. The faithful SMS, which recently celebrated its 25th birthday, is about to disappear? And you ? How did you send your wishes?
