Witnessing a whopping response on the existing Shops feature on Instagram and Facebook, which garnered about 1.2 million monthly active shops to showcase their products, the company said the same feature will come to WhatsApp soon.
Among other announcements about its commerce tools, Facebook also said it would in the coming months launch an artificial intelligence tool called ‘Visual Search’ so users shopping on its photo-sharing site Instagram can click on items and find similar products in Shops.
