JawaPos.com – The WhatsApp application experienced several cosmetic changes after its last update. One of these changes can be seen with the appearance of a new menu name entitled update. The update menu on WhatsApp replaces the status menu on the old feature.
The list of statuses created by contacts is now in the WhatsApp update menu, no longer in the status menu. The appearance of the status list in the WhatsApp update menu has now changed.
Quoted from RM Update on Monday (18/9), Statuses created by contacts on WhatsApp will usually be arranged in a vertical (descending) list. Now the WhatsApp statuses are arranged in a horizontal (sideways) list.
The WhatsApp status menu changes to updates and the list display becomes similar to Instagram stories because there is a new feature, namely the channel feature. The new WhatsApp channel feature is located on the WhatsApp status page.
The existence of the WhatsApp channel feature makes the appearance of the WhatsApp status list change to resemble Instagram stories. Apart from that, with the addition of this feature, the name of the status menu has now also changed to update.

Operationally, the new WhatsApp channel feature can be said to be similar to the channel feature in DM Instagram or Telegram. So channel admins can share information but users cannot reply via chat.
Channels that the user has followed will not be placed in the chat list. Channel accounts or channels that have been followed will all be located in the WhatsApp update menu along with status.
In the WhatsApp update menu, users can get notifications of the latest information or messages from each channel account they follow. However, please note that WhatsApp channels are set by default not to display notifications.
Messages or information from WhatsApp channels are only stored for the last 30 days. So messages from WhatsApp channels that have been stored for more than that time period will be automatically deleted and can no longer be accessed, so they don’t take up storage.
