Twitter embeds WhatsApp share button in Android app

Twitter has now added a WhatsApp share button in its official Android app. It appears once you open an individual tweet, allowing you to directly share it on WhatsApp.

Earlier users had to click on the share button and select the WhatsApp option, but now the app negates these extra steps so that a user can directly WhatsApp the tweet. With the growing popularity and vast user base of the messaging app, it seems just like the right move

We have heard about a Share With WhatsApp button in the past, but this is the first official appearance on a third-party app.

As you see in the above image, you can add your views before sending the tweet. By default its shows – check out this tweet. To view this feature, users need the latest, updated Twitter app for Android i.e. version 5.15.0.

Twitter is also known to be testing a new way of retweeting called ‘retweet with comment.’  With this new feature, a retweet will be converted into an image or card and the user will get 140 characters to express their views before adding it to their timeline. Earlier a ‘quote tweet’ had to be within the 140 character limit.
