The interrelation between WhatsApp and Facebook Statuses
When you share your WhatsApp status over to Facebook, the videos and images and normal texts will appear as it is. But that is not the case with hyperlinks. Any link posted on your WhatsApp status will appear as a normal text over at Facebook. Also, these shared statuses will also have the same 24 hours of expiry time on Facebook as well. Even if you delete your WhatsApp status before 24 hours, the shared status at Facebook will have no effect as such. For that, you will manually have to delete it from Facebook by tapping on three dots and selecting the Delete Photo option.
With that, we conclude the guide on how to share WhatsApp status to Facebook. Although it keeps on adding new features, yet there seems to be no concrete evidence regarding the Dark Mode feature, as such. Let’s hope it gets added pretty soon.
