In addition, users can upload various media features as status – from text and images to videos and GIFs.
Furthermore, the new WhatsApp status update feature will allow users to click on a person’s profile picture to view their status. According to WABeta Info, future app updates will carry over this feature, ensuring more quality integration than before. Additionally, searching contact in the search bar will permit WhatsApp users to access that person’s status.
On another note, WhatsApp is an app available on various platforms, offering different features to its users. Fortunately, the beta features of the app provide an excellent outlook on an upcoming upgrade. In addition, the company has already decreased its number of forwarded messages to prevent the spread of misinformation via the app. Besides that, WhatsApp also updates to allow users to send better voice messages to their contacts.
