WhatsApp Status is set for an enhancement. Status, WhatsApp’s equivalent of an AIM away message, enables users to communicate what they’re engaged in while not active on the app. An updated feature launched on Thursday allows you to personalize your Status just like an Instagram Story.

“WhatsApp Status serves as your personal space to inform significant people about your daily activities. From celebrating your wedding to simply sharing a smile, infuse more character into each Status,” a release from WhatsApp declares.

You can generate a collage using the layout tool, incorporate music, post stickers, and utilize the “Add Yours” sticker, akin to Instagram Stories.

Meta manages both Instagram and WhatsApp, making these resemblances anticipated. Meta frequently introduces features to maintain user engagement on the platform.

“Whether you’re capturing everyday experiences or special events, we trust these new features will help you stay connected with those who matter most to you,” the release concludes.

The features began rolling out on Thursday and will persist over the upcoming months.
