WhatsApp just took a page out of Instagram’s playbook by introducing a new ‘About’ feature that lets users share short status updates with their contacts. If you love dropping quick thoughts or mood updates on Instagram Notes, you’ll feel right at home with this fresh WhatsApp upgrade.

This new tool allows WhatsApp users to post a short status visible to their contacts, just like Instagram Notes. Want to let your friends know you’re “living for the weekend” or “craving pizza”? Now you can, without sending a full-blown message or changing your main profile status. It’s all about sharing those little life updates—without oversharing!
How Does WhatsApp’s ‘About’ Feature Work?
Simply update your status in the ‘About’ section. All your contacts will see your latest mood or message. It’s fast, easy, and gives WhatsApp a social twist that was missing before. Some might say it’s about time WhatsApp got a little more fun—after all, who doesn’t want another way to humblebrag or drop mysterious song lyrics?
This update makes WhatsApp more interactive and personal. Whether you use it to share what you’re up to or just to keep your friends guessing, it’s a small feature with a big potential to shake up your messaging routine.
