The WhatsApp States will be in the list of chats
For a few years now, all users have had a section called ‘States’ where you can upload and view ephemeral content. WhatsApp copied this functionality from Instagram, something that was highly criticized and that almost nobody uses today.
Well, the apps intends to give more prominence to these state. When a contact uploads a status you won’t have to go to the specific tab to see it: a green circle will appear around your profile picture in the chat tab.
Indeed, WhatsApp will show the states in the regular chat tab. Many users have forgotten the States section and do not enter regularly. This means that WhatsApp has considered showing them in the list of chats to have better figures.
It will arrive soon on your mobile
WhatsApp is already working on this function so that it reaches the devices in a few weeks. The evidence has been captured by WABetaInfo and show how status notifications will look in the general chat list.
It doesn’t seem to be something you can avoid, so you’ll have to deal with this novelty yes or yes on your device. Until now, if you wanted to ignore the States it was easy, something that is now complicated with this function.
What do you think? Do you use the whatsapp status?
