Well, Whatsapp users are robbing their eyes at first! The messenger initially became big because of the text message function. It has long been possible to send videos, voice messages, locations and other things with WhatsApp. Millions and millions of people around the world use WhatsApp every day.
The status function is also popular, as you can show your (selected) contacts what you are currently doing, share memories or generally reveal something about your state of mind. However, attentive users will have noticed a change when checking the status of others on Whatsapp!
Whatsapp users discover new button
There is a new button in Messenger – at the bottom right, a colorless heart! What exactly does that mean? With it you can like a status easily. Then the heart turns green – like the color of WhatsApp.
Unlike Facebook, which, like WhatsApp, belongs to Meta Platforms (USA), these likes are not publicly visible and are not counted. Only the contact whose status was liked will be notified via Messenger.
New features on the way
But this is by no means the only innovation that the group is introducing in connection with the status. In the future, you should also be able to mention a contact in the status. However, this should not be publicly visible either; only the respective contact will be informed.
More news:
Alternatively, you can also share your own status message with your contacts. If these new functions are not yet available on your smartphone, you will need a little patience. According to WhatsApp, they will be introduced gradually and will gradually be available to more and more accounts.
