Facebook tests WhatsApp button in main app on Android

Facebook is constantly testing out new things in its main app. This time around, it’s looking to bring attention to its subsidiary WhatsApp. The social network is placing a dedicated WhatsApp button on the main Facebook app, which can be accessed from the menu tab. The button is basically a shortcut to the WhatsApp, so you don’t have to leave the app to launch the messaging service. It’s not showing up to all users and the one who found the shortcut claims it showed up for him when he switched Facebook’s language setting to Danish. It’s not surprising as Facebook has done some limited testing in that country before. Whether this gets a wider release is something we can’t confirm. From our end, Instagram also has this quick launch shortcut on Facebook.
