Right now, if you want to upload a new profile photo on WhatsApp, you can click a new picture with your phone’s camera, select one from your phone’s gallery, or use the “AI images” feature. Last month, we heard that WhatsApp was working on letting users display a customized avatar alongside their profile photo, and now we learn that the Meta-owned company might soon let you import profile photos from your Facebook and Instagram accounts.
This revelation comes from the folks at WABetaInfo, who shared a screenshot (included below) showing two new options in WhatsApp for Android’s Profile menu for importing profile photos directly from Facebook and Instagram.
Selecting Facebook or Instagram will allow users to import profile photos from the Facebook/Instagram account linked to WhatsApp. WABetaInfo reports that this feature is optional and turned off by default, and linking WhatsApp with Meta’s Account Center for directly importing profile photos from Facebook/Instagram won’t affect WhatsApp’s privacy protections.
This feature was spotted in beta version 2.25.21.23 of WhatsApp for Android and is currently available to some beta testers. However, it’s unclear when exactly it will be available to all users of the stable version.
