WhatsApp, the popular messaging network owned by Meta, has launched a series of status update capabilities to make it simpler for users to engage. You may now like someone's status, reshare a status where you've been mentioned, and tag or mention individuals privately in your own updates. These revisions seek to provide new methods for users to connect via status updates.

People may occasionally miss vital status updates, according to WhatsApp. To facilitate this, the site invites users to privately mention individuals closest to them. This is to guarantee that they receive the information and may quickly share it with their own audience.

According to a WhatApp blog post, "Make sure those closest to you see your status, and let them easily reshare it with their audience, by privately mentioning them." When someone is named in a status update, they will receive a private notification, and the mention will not display on the status.

How do you like a status on WhatsApp?

Status likes on WhatsApp are straightforward and easy to utilize. With a single press, you may like someone's status, as well as updates from your connections. It's a simple method to express your gratitude for someone's status without having to send a message.

Are WhatsApp status likes visible to everyone?

No, status likes on WhatsApp are entirely private. Only the person whose status you liked will see the like in their list of watchers, ensuring that your interaction remains personal.

These functionalities are already present on Instagram stories and are being added to WhatsApp by Meta. The distribution has begun, and it will be broadly available to consumers very shortly. WhatsApp added: "We'll be bringing more features to Status and the Updates tab over the next few months to make it easier to stay closest to those who matter most."
