WhatsApp may soon allow users to sort status updates based on user’s preference

Facebook-owned WhatsApp is reportedly working on a feature to help users filter WhatsApp Status updates. Presently, the Status updates are shown in chronological order which can be problematic for users with hundreds of contacts.
As reported by Mashable, the company is testing a new algorithm that will enable its users to sort WhatsApp Status updates based on their preference. WhatsApp Status update is similar to the Snapchat stories and was introduced in 2017.
The Mashable report suggests that the ability to sort updates for now will be tested among a small set of iPhone users in Brazil, Spain, and India. It may be rolled out to more users in coming months.
