WhatsApp new update will allow users to view Status from chat list

WhatsApp is rolling out a new update to enable users to view Status updates from their chat list, as per WhatsApp update tracking website WABeta Info. This update comes at a time when the messaging platform announced a spree of privacy features.

According to WABeta Info, WhatsApp is releasing this feature to certain beta testers. Status is a story-like feature where users can post photos and videos that disappear after 24 hours. Currently, users have to go to the Status tab to view the Status of other users. This will change now.

When a contact uploads a new status update, it will now be visible within the chat list. Users just need to tap their profile picture to view the status update.
