Understanding WhatsApp's new Status update
Here is how you can create, edit or delete your Status on WhatsApp.
Facebook-owned WhatsApp added a new feature last week that allows users to set up videos and photos as their statuses on the app. While its quite straight-forward, here is all you need to know about the update:
Enter the WhatsApp app
Tap on the Status section
Choose My Status option and tap the circle with ‘+’ sign
Add a story/video and add a caption
The video/photo you uploaded will stay for 24 hours.
How to delete your WhatsApp Status:
Find the Status you want to delete from your Status tab
Tap on the eye icon that shows how many users viewed your Status
Select the trash icon and delete your Status
Allow only specific contacts to view your Status:
Tap on the Status section in the app
Enter the menu icon located on the top right corner and choose Status privacy
Exclude the contacts that you don’t want to share your Status with
