WhatsApp's new 'profile photo from Facebook and Instagram' feature brings customisation to the users' profiles by letting them connect to other platforms offered by Meta. According to a report by WABetaInfo, the new feature would allow seamless image transfer from linked Meta platforms and enhance convenience. The report said that the latest WhatsApp feature would help those who want to keep updating their social media profiles and want them to be relevant.

It said users could maintain consistency on all Meta platforms, including Facebook and Instagram, by easily importing the same photo to WhatsApp. The report highlighted that a select users will be able to try out this feature, and it will be available alongside other options to update the profile photo in the app. Currently, the users need to upload an image from the gallery to change it. However, the new update will address the limitation and sync the profile photo from other Meta platforms. ‘Claude AI Now on X’: Anthropic Announces Official Claude Account on Elon Musk’s Platform, Likely To Expand Social Media Presence.
