WhatsApp Revives the Classic About Feature
If you’ve been using WhatsApp since its early days, get ready for a throwback! WhatsApp has officially brought back the beloved About feature. This update aims to give users more ways to express themselves, supplementing the current status updates with a touch of nostalgia.
The About feature lets users add a personal note or message to their profile. It was a fan favorite before statuses took over, and now the two features will work together. You can update your status as usual, but also share a quirky, emotional, or even mysterious About—because who doesn’t want to keep their friends guessing?
Why Bring Back About?
WhatsApp clearly listened to its community of seasoned users. Sometimes, you just want to say, “Busy at work” or “On vacation,” without spamming everyone with a photo or video story. The About feature is perfect for those low-key updates. It’s a smart move that blends the best of old-school simplicity with modern communication.
Honestly, it’s nice to see a tech giant admit that not every upgrade means ditching the classics. Welcome back, About! We missed your cryptic messages and inside jokes.
