How does the new whatsapp status work

WhatsApp has introduced a new feature called "Status" which allows users to share photos, videos, and GIFs that disappear after 24 hours. Here's how it works:

How to use WhatsApp Status:

1. Open WhatsApp and go to the chat screen.
2. Tap the "Status" tab at the top of the screen.
3. You can then choose to share a photo, video, or GIF from your camera roll or take a new one.
4. Add text, drawings, or emojis to your status update if you want.
5. Tap the "Send" button to share your status update.
6. Your status update will be visible to your contacts for 24 hours.
7. After 24 hours, the status update will disappear and will no longer be visible to your contacts.

Key features of WhatsApp Status:

1. Disappearing content: Status updates disappear after 24 hours, so you don't have to worry about your content being saved or shared.
2. End-to-end encryption: WhatsApp Status updates are end-to-end encrypted, which means that only you and the people you share it with can see the content.
3. Reactions: You can react to a status update with emojis, just like you can react to a message.
4. Viewers: You can see who has viewed your status update by tapping the "Viewers" button.
5. Multi-media support: You can share multiple photos, videos, and GIFs in a single status update.
6. Story-like interface: WhatsApp Status updates are displayed in a story-like interface, with each update appearing in a row.

Tips and tricks:

1. You can share a status update with specific contacts by tapping the "Share with" button and selecting the contacts you want to share it with.
2. You can also share a status update with a group chat.
3. You can use the "Reactions" feature to respond to a status update without having to send a separate message.
4. You can use the "Viewers" feature to see who has viewed your status update and who hasn't.

Overall, WhatsApp Status is a fun and convenient way to share updates with your friends and family, and it's a great way to keep your content private and secure.
