What Is Whatsapp Status ?
WhatsApp Status allows you to share text, photos, videos and animated GIFs that disappear after 24 hours. In order to send and receive status updates to and from your contacts, both you and your contacts must have each other's phone numbers saved in your address books.
To view someone's status update, tap the Status tab and select a contact's status. To reply to one of your contact's status updates, tap Reply at the bottom of the screen while viewing their status.
Adding your own status update
To add a status update:
Go to the Status screen.
Choose between:
Camera to take a new photo or record a new video, or choose an existing one from the picker. You can also add a caption and personalize your status updates by adding emojis, text and freehanded drawings to your photos and videos. Learn how in our FAQ.
Text to compose a written status update.
Tap Send .
Changing your status privacy
Your status updates cannot be seen by people whose numbers are not saved in your phone's address book. You can choose to share your status updates with all of your contacts, or with selected contacts only. By default, your status updates are set to be shared with all your contacts.
To change your status privacy:
Go to the Status screen.
Tap the Menu Button > Status privacy.
