If you have been a fan of the popular social media app Snapchat, the latest WhatsApp update is sure to excite you. Replacing a part of the app that has been there from the get-go, WhatsApp decided to evolve the boring one-line WhatsApp Status updates into something more.Bringing its social media vibe into its recently purchased instant messaging app, Facebook has turned the Status update window into a portal for sharing pictures, videos, GIFs as well. If you just updated your WhatsApp and need to know more about the new WhatsApp Status updates feature, this is the guide for you.
You can simply snap a picture or record a video by pressing and holding the shutter button, and then add text or other editing options. You can also simply select a picture from the scrolling camera roll which appears right above the shutter button and press “Send” to set it as your WhatsApp Status.
You can choose to share your status updates with “My contacts” (all the contacts on your list), “My contacts except…” (allows you to exclude contacts), and “Only share with…” (allows you to cherry-pick the contacts with whom the status is shared).You can also see who among your allowed contacts has seen your shared WhatsApp Status updates by heading over to the “Status” window and pressing the three-dot menu against the “My status” tab. If you want to delete the status update manually, simply select the specific status update and hit the trash icon on the corner of the window to close it.
