WhatsApp Beta users can now enjoy a new ‘Close Friends’ feature, inspired by Instagram, for their status updates. This feature lets you share your status with a select group, giving you more privacy and control over who views your updates. It’s perfect for moments you want to keep exclusive to your inner circle.
Streamlined Sharing with ‘My Status’
WhatsApp is also making sharing photos and videos easier for iPhone users. The new ‘My Status’ option in the iOS share sheet allows you to post media directly to your status. This update means you can update your status with just a few taps, without leaving the app you’re using.
This move brings WhatsApp closer to Instagram’s privacy-focused features and shows their commitment to giving users more control. If you want to try these updates, make sure your app is up to date and keep an eye out for new beta releases.
