WhatsApp: share profile more easily
If you just want to share your profile with friends or acquaintances, you had to go through a few tedious steps with WhatsApp. Either you let yourself create a QR code in Messenger via detours, which is then scanned, or a link via api.whatsapp.com with your own phone number had to be given. But that should soon be over, as a look at the latest beta version of WhatsApp for Android makes clear.
In the future the sharing of profiles becomes much easier. Instead of generating a QR code, tap the share icon in your profile. A new screen then opens on which the short link to the profile can be shared or copied directly on WhatsApp (source: WABetaInfo). The latter is advantageous if the profile link is not to be sent via WhatsApp but via another messenger app.
The new sharing interface has been discovered in WhatsApp beta 2.22.9.8, but doesn’t appear to be live yet. The feature could be limited to business accounts, at least initially, as the description suggests: “Give your customers a short link so they can start a WhatsApp chat with you.” But it’s also possible that this description is just explicit appears for business accounts, while private users then ultimately see a different description.
