WhatsApp insisted that we view statuses as yes or yes. And it has a new function to achieve this

It was 2017 when WhatsApp launched its own proposition after the hit of stories on Instagram: states. Since then, these have not stopped developing, but the truth is still not as visible as on Instagram or Facebook. So far, statuses have been relegated to a separate tab from chats, but that’s about to change.

And as WaBetaInfo (the well-known leaker of WhatsApp features and news) revealed, WhatsApp is a new way to make statuses more visible, and that’s invading the chat screen with something that most Instagram users do. accustomed: ring around profile picture.

Hey look, this person posted a status

This is what contact photos will look like when they post a status.

As we mentioned earlier, the only way to see the status of our connections is to go to related tab. This is well thought out, because those who want to see the statuses are just a click away, and those who don’t, keep them separate from conversations.

This will change. WaBetaInfo discovered that there are users reporting a status as of now in version 22.18.0.70 of the WhatsApp beta for iOS (distributed on TestFlight). they will appear in the chat list with a blue ring around their profile picture.

The same system is used by apps like Instagram.Not only does it show statuses at the top, it also shows a multicolored ring around the profile photo of users that appear in our feed when they post a story.

The same dynamic will be followed on WhatsApp, clicking the person’s profile picture will open the status you published. A minor novelty, yes, but also interesting, as it demonstrates WhatsApp’s interest in taking users to the states. However, it should be noted that it can be disabled.

Currently, this function beta phase and not available to all users. However, I hope it is distributed to all users as soon as possible. It’s a matter of time.
