META has launched a new feature that will allow Facebook and Instagram users to share NFTs across both platforms.
Users can connect their wallets such as Rainbow, MetaMask, Trust Wallet, Coinbase Wallet and Dapper Wallet to post digital collectibles minted on Ethereum, Polygon and Flow.
Meta said: “As we continue rolling out digital collectibles on Facebook and Instagram, we’ve started giving people the ability to post digital collectibles that they own across both Facebook and Instagram.
“This will enable people to connect their digital wallets once to either app in order to share their digital collectibles across both.”
The tech company wants to make it easier for its users to share their NFTs by only requiring a one-time wallet connection on either Facebook or Instagram.
The user’s wallet will then be automatically recognized if cross-posting is enabled under account settings on either application.
The new feature will be available to some US users from Monday, August 29th.
