The WhatsApp new update comes in the form of an update WhatsApp Beta for iOS 25.7.10.70 for iOS via the TestFlight Beta Program. This update also brings a new feature wherein customers can make social media profile links to their WhatsApp accounts. This feature is currently only available to some beta users, but it will be available to the rest of the users soon.
Today in this article we will discuss the WhatsApp Beta for iOS 25.7.10.70 that comes in this update like profile link features, privacy and security, and features updates.
Profile Links Feature
Users on the latest WhatsApp beta for iOS can now add a link to their Instagram profile in account settings, as the app has added this functionality. When this happens, friends and contacts can find and connect with them on Instagram directly from WhatsApp.
In terms of supported platforms, at the moment, Instagram is the only one in the bowels, however, WhatsApp could extend this feature to other social media platforms like Facebook or Threads in the future. The feature introduces the same update that comes with an earlier update to the Android version.
How to Add an Instagram Link
This feature is available to users who can add Instagram links from the app settings. The next thing they should choose is to add a social media profile to select and enter an Instagram username accordingly. If saved, they will see the Instagram link in their chat info screen.
Similarly, WhatsApp offers privacy options that let users select whom to show their Instagram link to. This allows them to make it visible to everyone, only to contacts, exclude specific people, or privacy.
Privacy and Security Considerations
It is an optional feature, not linking an Instagram profile is required. For those who are unwilling to give up their privacy, not choosing that option is one way of doing that. Unfortunately, the Instagram username inserted by the user is not verified by WhatsApp as it’s manually inserted.
It means that you can type in any Instagram username, someone could say fact make someone else’s Instagram username, and put it as their own. Given the fact that the person adding the social media link does not confirm their identity, users should exercise caution when seeing social media links on WhatsApp.
Feature Availability
And the feature of having the social media profile link is rolling out on a gradual basis. Access has been granted to some beta testers of WhatsApp beta for iOS 25.7.10.70 distributed through TestFlight, while others will have it in the next few days.
The feature might not be active for your account yet, even if you have the latest version, in this case. With the expansion of this update, WhatsApp plans to offer it to even more users in the future.
Potential Future Enhancements
Currently, Instagram is only the platform that supports it, but in the future, WhatsApp might introduce some other social media link options. Supporting Facebook, Threads, TikTok, and LinkedIn could give users greater flexibility in their online presence. It would therefore be easier for businesses, influencers, and professionals to connect their WhatsApp contacts with other social media profiles.
Furthermore, a verification system for linked accounts could also add to trust and security to verify that only verified accounts can be added to a user’s WhatsApp profile. These would also help make WhatsApp a more integrated doorknocker for online networking and social relations
