Whatsapp is developing a new feature that will allow users to browse status updates directly from the conversation list. The Meta-owned messaging network has recently been on a roll, with the social media behemoth testing new admin tools and undoing message deletion capabilities.
The new WhatsApp version will make it easier to see if someone has published a new status update. Instead of opening Whatsapp and going to the Status section to view the narrative, users will be able to check statuses under the Chats area by simply tapping on their profile image. Let’s take a closer look at the new changes and what we already know.
Previously, users could only see publicly posted status updates in the Status tab; now, users will be able to see the statuses while browsing the chat list or searching for conversations and messages. This is similar to what Instagram provides on its platform. When an unseen story is present, a ring appears around the contact’s profile picture, as shown in the image.
