Status Update Advertising Features
Many businesses have been successful in promoting their products from their catalogs through Facebook ads to reach new customers. It has been a widely used tool, especially in recent months. Therefore, WhatsApp wants to encourage more people to use similar business tools by releasing a shortcut that allows some businesses to quickly access the option to advertise a status on Facebook.
As we can see in this screenshot, a new shortcut for announcing status updates can appear after they are shared. It also allows businesses to forward the status update to the Facebook app. In this case, it will be possible to continue to Facebook to edit the ad and description and set how long the business wants it to run.
Of course, one of the advantages of advertising a status is that it offers a new way to reach a wider audience. By advertising status updates, businesses can reach customers who don't use WhatsApp but use Facebook and Instagram. It means businesses can potentially reach a wider audience and generate more sales. It also gives businesses more options to promote their products and services. By providing a shortcut that appears every time a status update is posted, WhatsApp is encouraging businesses to consider advertising their status updates to create an ad to promote their products and services.
The platform wants to make the WhatsApp Business an even bigger player than it already is
Even though the screenshot was taken from WhatsApp Business for iOS, the same feature is available for some beta testers who have installed WhatsApp Business for Android. However, the latest beta version of the app from the Play Store is required. Moreover, after advertising a status update, it can be used as an advertising post on Facebook or Instagram. This feature is not shared with other WhatsApp users, as it only offers optional advertising functionality on Instagram and Facebook.
The new shortcut to advertise a status is available to some users who have installed the latest business versions of WhatsApp beta for iOS and Android. It will also be rolled out to even more businesses in the coming weeks. The platform wants to make the Business app an even bigger player than it already is. Updates like this one will go a long way towards making that happen.
