The popular micro-blogging platform Twitter has started testing a new way of sharing tweets in India. The platform has started i rolling out a new WhatsApp sharing button to select Android users in India that will let them share a tweet with their contacts directly via WhatsApp. Twitter wrote in a post: “Some of you might see a WhatsApp Share icon and if you do, let us know what you think.”
The popular micro-blogging platform is offering four options to users as of now = the ability to comment on a tweet, retweet or quote a tweet, like it and share it. The Share Tweet button expands to let users bookmark a tweet, copy its link and share it via other apps that are available on a user’s smartphone.
Now, Twitter is testing a new feature that replaces the Share button with a new WhatsApp icon enabling users to share tweets directly in the messaging app.
This WhatsApp feature will enable users to share tweets on WhatsApp easily, on the other hand, it will make it difficult to share content on other platforms such as Instagram, Messenger, and Messages app among others if that is what they prefer. BGR India reported that this feature is available to select Android users at the moment and that Twitter is likely to expand support for this feature to more users in the coming days.
The company has announced that its Android app is getting the ability to share tweets directly on Instagram and Snapchat. This feature is already available in Twitter’s iOS app.
“We enjoyed the Tweet. Now everyone should enjoy it too. Sharing a Tweet directly to Snapchat and Instagram Stories is now available on Android (already on iOS!) And we added LinkedIn sharing on Android and iOS. Tap the share icon on a Tweet to try it out,” the platform wrote.
