It is a good idea for social media content creators to share their videos on other platforms as well. For instance, one can share YouTube Shorts videos on WhatsApp to maximize their reach and drive more engagement.

While you can post a Shorts link to your WhatsApp status using the Share option on YouTube.

The procedure requires using a third-party app or online service to first save YouTube Shorts to the camera roll and then post the Shorts video to WhatsApp story or status. Doing so will let you share your own or someone else’s content.

Now let’s see how to download YouTube Shorts for WhatsApp status and post them, both on iPhone and Android.
