WhatsApp Status Updates Introduces Tagging and Likes to Enhance User Engagement
Enhancements to WhatsApp Status
Meta-owned instant messaging platform WhatsApp is continually enhancing user engagement with frequent updates. Recently, it has improved WhatsApp status updates with new features that promote interaction among users. According to WhatsApp, status updates serve as an excellent way to share moments with friends and family, and these new functionalities make it even better.
Tagging and Likes Explained
One of the significant enhancements is the ability to tag contacts in status updates. Users can now privately mention others while sharing their statuses. This allows individuals to notify friends about essential updates without cluttering their statuses.
Moreover, WhatsApp has introduced status likes, similar to like functions on other social platforms. With a simple tap, users can express appreciation for their contacts' status updates. Notably, these likes remain private, visible only to the user whose status was liked.
Gradual Rollout of New Features
These features are beginning to roll out globally, so users may not see them immediately and will need to wait for their availability. WhatsApp emphasized that they plan to release more updates to the Status and Updates tab in the coming months, aiming to enhance connections between users.
