Since October 2019, a convenient function has appeared in Google Camera for transferring photos and videos to social networks and instant messengers.
Against the scandal’s background around the new policy, the WhatsApp team does not forget about the regular updates of the messenger. And with a fresh small update, there was an unpleasant surprise.
Another nasty surprise for WhatsApp. Messenger has ceased to be “friends” with Google Camera
Since October 2019, a convenient function for transferring photos and videos to instant messengers and social networks has appeared in the Google Camera application called Social Share. WhatsApp was also on the list of services and applications where you can quickly transfer content.
On Wednesday, the developers started distributing WhatsApp for Android version 2.21.1.13. After installing the update, users found that the WhatsApp messenger is no longer present in the Social Share list. It has completely disappeared and is not available in the list for setting preferences.
Apparently, this is not a bug or an issue on Google’s side, as the Google Camera app hasn’t been updated since December. It cannot be said with certainty whether WhatsApp from Social Share’s disappearance is an accidental glitch or whether it is a deliberate decision by the team to stop “friends” with Google Camera.
