WhatsApp announces a major update that will improve the way users manage their favorite apps. In the coming months, WhatsApp will allow you to add accounts to the Account Center, making it easy to post status directly from the app and connect to multiple platforms using the same account.
Adding WhatsApp to Account Center is completely optional and disabled by default, giving users full control over this integration. If you wish, you can remove WhatsApp from Account Center at any time, without affecting the security of your personal messages and calls. All communications via WhatsApp will remain end-to-end encrypted, ensuring the privacy of your data.
Since launching Account Center in 2020, WhatsApp has helped users manage their experiences across Facebook, Instagram, and Meta Quest. Now, with WhatsApp integration, users can repost WhatsApp statuses to Facebook or Instagram Stories with just a few clicks. This feature simplifies the process of sharing important moments, eliminating the need to repeatedly post on each platform.

The Account Center integration will also allow you to quickly log in to your WhatsApp account with a single login, reducing the time it takes to get back to your accounts in the future. In addition, WhatsApp plans to add additional features in the future, such as avatar management, Meta AI stickers, and Imagine Me creations, all available in one place.
WhatsApp emphasizes that while the addition to Account Center brings connectivity benefits, user privacy remains a priority. Personal messages and calls are still protected by end-to-end encryption, ensuring that only the intended recipient can access their content. The integration into Account Center does not change this security measure.
This new option will be gradually rolled out globally. Users will see the option in WhatsApp settings or when they try to interact between accounts, such as reposting statuses to other Meta apps. WhatsApp is excited to offer this choice to users around the world, while improving their digital experience.
The integration of WhatsApp into the Account Center represents an important step towards better connectivity between applications, while maintaining high standards of security and privacy. Users can benefit from more efficient account management and new functionalities, all in a secure and controlled environment by them.
