All changes indicate that the platform seeks to maintain the top among messaging applications. In addition, WhatsApp is considered by many to be a social network, which is still true. After all, within the app there are countless groups with hundreds of participants.
It's no wonder that the messenger brought news in image editing and conversation archiving. In addition, it recently released the unique media preview tool and more.
Last Wednesday (11), the site specializing in the WABetaInfo app brought yet another spoiler. WhatsApp is working on updating the status of users. Apparently, the goal is to highlight the feature and make it similar to Instagram Stories.
According to the information on the portal, the operation of the feature would be very similar to Instagram, in fact. By tapping on the profile picture, the user would be able to access the stories of their contact.
The app should ask for confirmation as to whether the user wants to see the photo or status update. That is, the tool also approaches the former Fleets, from Twitter.
According to WaBetaInfo, the function would only apply to those who made a recent post. Therefore, not all profiles should be affected.
It is worth noting that the WhatsApp status update is still in beta. Only certain users who have access to the trial version will be able to use the tool. By the way, for now, the feature is available exclusively for the Android operating system.
The platform has not commented on the case and there is no specific date for launch. However, the appeal should soon reach its final stage. At the very least, all recent updates have gone through an identical process.
