“All States” is coming

Previously, WhatsApp statuses had their own tabs and were displayed in the vertical list, but since the arrival of channels, their presence has been limited. in a horizontal row in the upper part of the window, while the lower part is monopolized by the updates of the channels we subscribe to.

Using channels was not the only way to return to the previous list, but now WhatsApp offers us an additional way: See all states. This innovation is being tested for some Android beta users.

If you are active you will find See all states in the ⋮ menu at the top of the tab News (be careful, because there is another menu ⋮ just below it and it doesn’t appear there). In this window You will see the statuses in a list againas before.

Not only that, you will also have access to a set of filters as a gift: All, most recent, viewed and muted. Clicking on each will filter the displayed states that meet this condition; This is something that is useful if you have a lot of contacts using the status function on WhatsApp.
