Statuses are a popular way to share fleeting updates with friends and close contacts on WhatsApp. They disappear within 24 hours and can contain photos, videos, GIFs, text, WhatsApp voice status etc. Just like your personal chats and calls, your WhatsApp status is protected by end-to-end encryption so you can share it privately and securely.
WhatsApp says they are happy to add many new features to Status for WhatsApp. This makes it easier for you to express yourself and connect with others.
Private Audience Selector
Each status you share may not always be appropriate for all contacts. You have the flexibility to update your privacy settings for each status, so you can choose who sees your status each time you update. The last selected audience is saved and used as the default for the next status.
WhatsApp voice status
Introducing the ability to record and share voice messages of up to 30 seconds on WhatsApp status. Speech status allows you to send more personal updates. Especially useful if you prefer to express yourself through speaking rather than typing.
state reaction
Add status reactions to quickly and easily respond to status updates from your friends and close contacts. After launching React last year, this was the most requested feature by WhatsApp users. Swipe up and he can now quickly reply to a status by tapping one of eight emojis. Of course, you can also reply to statuses with texts, voice messages, stickers, and more.
New update status profile ring
With the new Status Profile Ring, you’ll never miss a status from your loved ones again. This ring will appear around your contact’s profile picture when you share a status update. Appears in the chat list, group participant list, and contact information.
Status link preview
Posting a link to your status now automatically shows a visual preview of the link content, just like when sending a message. A visual preview makes it easier to see the status and gives your contacts a better idea of what the link is about before they click it.
These updates are rolling out to users worldwide and will be available to all users in the coming weeks. We look forward to enjoying these new statuses very soon.
