I want to  suggest that steemit should include whatsapp share button to steemit post. This feature has been added to utopian-io already but yet to be added to  steemit.
I am on different Steemit  community whatsapp group and every member of the group share their steemit post to the groups enhancing their chances of getting  up-vote  and attention they needed on their post. 
But the most annoying thing is these users have to go a bit mile in order to post this on whatsapp. They have to copy the link of the post before they can share it on whatsapp, this sometime result in broken link. Others don't know how to copy the link or they copy it wrongly making it difficult for them to share there post on whatsapp
What about steemit incorporating this feature into steemit post, this would have been easier for them and  lessen their burden.

SEE SAMPLE OF UTOPIAN-IO WHATSAPP ICON BELOW

**The need for inclusion of whatsapp share button**
Whatsapp has become one of if not the most influential messaging application in  today's world. That is why you will see many app incorporating whatsapp share feature into their app. 
I suggest steemit should add this feature of whatsapp share. 
A possible implementation of this is shown in the picture below.

Advantages of adding whatsapp share icon
It will make it easier for user to share steemit posts to their whatsapp chat forum without the need for them having to copy the link first
This will surely in aid exposure and increase content curation on steemit.
It will  as well encourage a good user experience.
Among others advantages
