WhatsApp changes your status updates with new features.

Users will be able to share voice messages on their status thanks to several new features being rolled out by Meta-owned WhatsApp. The ring will be visible around profile pictures in the Chat list and other locations once it has been shared.

The most recent audience you chose will be kept in memory and utilized as the default for your subsequent status update.

*Status Reactions: By swiping up and choosing one of the eight available emojis from the menu that appears, you may now instantly reply to any status. Naturally, you may still reply to a status update with a text message, voice message, sticker, or any other number of ways.

*Status Profile Rings for New Updates: A ring will display around your profile image of contact when they update their status, according to the status profile ring feature. This will be shown in the chat lists, the group participant lists, and the contact information, making it simpler to never again miss a friend's or relative's status update.

*Link previews on Status: Just like when you send a message, you will now automatically see a visual preview of the message or link's content when you send it or post it on your status. Visual previews not only make your status updates look better but also give your contacts a better idea of the link's content before they decide to click on it.

*Audio Status: Soon, up to 30-second-long voice messages that you record and broadcast on WhatsApp status will be possible. Sending more intimate updates is possible using voice status, which is especially helpful if speaking rather than typing is how you prefer to communicate.
