WhatsApp has rolled out several new features to make its Status section more fun and interactive.
Many of these updates are similar to what users already see on Instagram, such as the “Add Yours” sticker and image layout options.
Meta shared in a blog post, “Whether you are sharing everyday moments or celebrating something special, these new features are designed to help you connect better with your loved ones.”
What’s New in WhatsApp Status
Image Layout
Users can now share up to 6 photos together in a collage on their status. A new editing tool has been added, allowing users to decorate and customize their photos before posting.
Music Status
Like on Instagram, WhatsApp now lets you add music to your status. You can pick a song that matches your mood and share it with a music sticker.
Photo Stickers
You can now turn your own photos into stickers. These stickers can be edited into different shapes and styles before being added to your status.
Add Yours Stickers
The popular “Add Yours” sticker from Instagram is now on WhatsApp. It allows users to post a question or topic, and others can join the conversation by replying to it. This makes the status feature more interactive and social.
Update Your App
Meta has announced that these features will be released gradually to all users. To enjoy them as soon as possible, make sure your WhatsApp app is updated to the latest version.
