WhatsApp is one of the most widely used messaging apps. Billions of people have used it extensively all around the world. The application has a “status” feature that enables users to post any photographs or short videos in that part, which they can be viewed by all of their saved contacts for 24 hours. The status will be automatically removed after 24 hours. Users could only upload certain texts, images, or short videos until recently, but WhatsApp has now added a tonne of new options to the status option, enhancing its feature set. Let’s explore in greater detail the specific features that the company has added.
First of all, voice messages can now be recorded and shared as statuses. These may last for up to 30 seconds. To pick who can see (or hear) your status whenever you update it, you can then update the privacy settings for each status. As you may expect, the audience choice you made most recently is kept and then used as the default for your subsequent status. After the introduction of chat reactions last year, status reactions, which let you reply to status updates, were reportedly the most often requested feature for WhatsApp. By swiping up and selecting one of the eight emojis, you may swiftly respond to any status. You can still respond by text, voicemail, or stickers, of course.
Every time your contact posts a status update, a new status profile ring will appear around their profile picture. This ring will be displayed in the chat list, group participant lists, and contact information area. Finally, link previews are now enabled in status updates, just like they are in conversations. Therefore, when you publish a link on your status, the preview will automatically appear, improving the appearance of your status and letting your contacts know what the link is about before tapping on it.
That was all we had to cover up regarding the addition of features to the WhatsApp messaging platform. What do you think about this?
