Social media conglomerate owner Mark Zuckerberg has hinted at a few changes or add-ups to WhatsApp, Instagram, and Facebook.
Mark and his team are at the top of making the social media space owned by them the most convenient and an all in one pack for its users by consistently upgrading and making things look like a merger.
Just like how a post on Whatsapp status can be shared directly onto Facebook and further to Instagram, the new tweak will make a shop available on WhatsApp to be a run across linked Facebook and Instagram pages.
He took to his Facebook page to skate the info as follows: New features coming soon to support businesses and make shopping easier: Shops on WhatsApp and Marketplace, Instagram Visual Search, and Shops Ads. More detail in the comments.
He explained further that; Shops on WhatsApp: soon you’ll be able to view a Shop in WhatsApp so you can chat with a business before buying something. Businesses only need to set up their shop once to have it work across Facebook, Instagram, and WhatsApp.
This means despite having a separate Business WhatsApp, the normal app will also include features the other. The difference will bring between the two, we are yet to know.
Instagram Visual Search: helps you discover products based on images that inspire you (I’ll use it to find more grey t-shirts 😁).
This will involve setting up some preferences on the app. From product, types, color, location, brand… guess as much as you can as we wait for the great Mark.
Shop Ads: we’re launching new ads to personalize the shopping experience and point you to a Shop’s curated collection.
