Status Reactions

WhatApp has introduced a new feature called Status Reaction. Here people can react to status by tapping the emoji icons located below the status. There are several reactions available, including a heart, a laughing face, a surprised face, a sad face, clapping hands, and more.

This allows users to quickly express their thoughts and emotions in response to a friend’s status.

Status Profile Rings

WhatsApp has updated the Chats sections a bit. Now, you will get a Status Profile Ring on the profile. With this new feature, you’ll never miss a status from your loved one. A green ring will be present around your contact’s profile picture whenever they update a status. The green ring will be visible in the chat list.

Link Previews on Status

Link Preview is a new update in Whatsapp. It allows users to share a clickable link in their status, along with a preview of the content behind the link.

When a user shares a link in their status, WhatsApp automatically generates a preview of the page, which includes a title, description, and image.

Screenshot Blocking

WhatsApp already has the View Once feature. It is useful when you want to share a private photo with close ones. But, one can take a screenshot of that photo, which nullifies the privacy behind it. Now, you can’t take a screenshot of it. If you take a screenshot of the View Once photo, you will get the Screenshot Blocked screen.

Personalized Avatars

WhatsApp’s Personalized Avatar is a feature that allows users to create a digital representation of themselves in the form of a cartoon character. Personalized avatars can be a fun and creative way to express oneself on WhatsApp. Here’s our guide on how to create avatars in WhatsApp.
