WhatsApp further upgrading Status updates

WhatsApp is one of our favorite apps and we love tracking all the WhatsApp developments and keeping you up to date on how it is evolving. We recently reported on how WhatsApp was improving the Status feature by adding rich information to any links shared via the WhatsApp Status feature. Today we can tell you that WhatsApp is further developing the feature to make it easier to organize any responses you get when you post WhatsApp Status updates.

In the latest beta version of WhatsApp, a small update has been spotted, which will make it easier to spot when somebody has responded to one of your Status updates.

At the moment, when you post a Status update on WhatsApp, people can respond to it as a message in a chat. When you open the chat, you will see that the message you have received is a response to the update, but that will be the first time you know it. This new update will add a small Status icon in the list of chats so that when you see you have received messages in your inbox, all of them that are responding to your Status update will have the new icon, which you can see above.

This is only a small update, but it just marks another step forward in WhatsApp’s constant state of evolution. There is no news yet about when this new feature will drop on all versions of WhatsApp, and there is no guarantee it will drop at all. All we know now is that WhatsApp has developed the feature and is already beta testing it. It is also clear that WhatsApp is currently testing on both Android and iOS versions of the app and for WhatsApp Desktop too.
