WhatsApp is testing a new interface to share text-based status updates easily

WhatsApp stands as one of the most widely used messaging apps globally, and ever since its acquisition by the tech giant Meta, it's been evolving with more social media-like features. Recently, we reported onuncovered a redesigned editor page for status updates. It now includes a Text option alongside the existing Video and Photo options at the bottom of the screen. Currently, WhatsApp only allows video and photo updates through the My Status option in the Updates tab.

Right now, users can only get to the text-based status editor by tapping the pencil icon in the Updates tab. It's good to know that WhatsApp doesn't let you switch the status type once you're in the editor/preview page. If you need to change it, you will have to go back and start over. If the new update moves out of beta and becomes official, it could bring several benefits, especially by cutting down the number of steps needed to switch between text and media. With this choice integrated directly into the composer, users can swiftly switch between various types of content without having to leave the current screen. This will improve efficiency and convenience.

A discussion is a place, where people can voice their opinion, no matter if it is positive, neutral or negative. However, when posting, one must stay true to the topic, and not just share some random thoughts, which are not directly related to the matter.Multiple accounts - one person can have only one accountModeration is done by humans.
