Some users around the world already have this new feature from Instagram and WhatsApp: you can now send messages from the instant messaging app through the social network for photos and short videos.
The arrival of this new feature has been talked about for some time, and it already has its antecedent in the integration of Instagram with Facebook Messenger.
iPhone 12 users and some Android users have already noticed the new feature that, until now, is only available for Instagram Business accounts.
The idea behind this integration is to make possible a new alternative method of contact to the well-known Direct Message. In this way, companies can configure another way of contacting them, such as an email or now, the phone number they use on WhatsApp.

- Pulsar WhatsApp and write your phone number
- Select Send code. After this you will receive a WhatsApp notification from a Facebook Business chat with the code.
- Write the code in the Instagram window and that’s it.
From now on, your number will be publicly displayed in the Contact section of your Instagram profile. Once activated, anyone will be able to get your phone number and write to you on WhatsApp. For this feature to work properly, you must have the WhatsApp and Instagram applications installed on the same phone.
