NEW SHARE PROFILE INTERFACE
WhatsApp is planning to release a future update that brings a new interface when you want to share your profile: this is what we have discovered after looking into the new WhatsApp beta for Android 2.22.9.8 update. In particular, the QR Code button will be replaced with a new share icon:
As you can see in this screenshot, WhatApp is also planning to redesign the Share Profile section where there will be possible to copy and share your short link, a special deep link that lets other people open your profile right within their WhatsApp application in order to quickly start a chat with you. Note that when you decide to share your short link, you also share your phone number since it contains a phone number.
If you pay attention to the attached screenshot, you can also read that the user will be able to give their customers the short link: this helps us understand that the new interface will only be available to WhatsApp Business accounts.
As usual, the new share profile interface is under development and it will be released at a later date in a future update.
