Nowadays, keeping a Whatsapp Status is the most popular way to share ephemeral updates with friends and close contacts. 

Whatsapp Status Gets Turbocharged With These Exciting New Features!

The trick here is that these status disappear in 24 hours and may include photos, videos, GIFs, text, and more. 

When it comes to security, your WhatsApp status is protected by end-to-end encryption Just like your personal chats and calls.

So, you can share your status privately and securely.

Considering the popularity, Whatsapp has come up with a set of new features to status on WhatsApp which will further help you in making it easier to express yourself and connect with others.

1. Private Audience Selector

Consider a case when every status you share may not always be right for all of your contacts. 

So, whatsapp is now providing you with the flexibility to update your privacy settings per status so you can choose who views your status each time you update it. 

To make it user friendly, your most recent audience selection will be saved and used as the default for your next status.

2. Voice Status

This new feature from whatsapp will allow users to record and share voice messages up to 30 seconds on WhatsApp status. 

The thought behind this voice status is that they can be used for sending more personal updates.

Especially if you feel more comfortable expressing yourself by talking rather than typing.

3. Status Reactions

Whatsapp has added status reactions, in order to provide a quick and easy way to respond to status updates from your friends and close contacts. 

This seems to be the #1 feature users wanted, following the launch of Reactions last year. 

This can simply be achieved by swiping up and tapping on one of eight emojis. 

Please note here that the user can still reply to a status with text, voice message, stickers and more.

4. Status Profile Rings For New Updates

This new status profile ring feature will help you to never miss a status from your loved ones. 

According to this feature, a ring will be present around your contact’s profile picture whenever they share a status update. 

This change will be visible in the chat lists, group participant lists, and contact info.

5. Link Previews On Status

This change is related to sharing a link in your status as when you post a link on your status, you’ll automatically see a visual preview of the link content, just like when you send a message. 

These visual previews make your statuses look better, and also give your contacts a better idea of what the link is before they click.

Most users might have seen these changes as these updates have started rolling out to users globally.

These changes will be available to everyone in the coming weeks.
