WhatsApp has been developing a slew of intriguing features to improve the user experience. The messaging app was recently spotted testing the ability to choose who receives status updates. This means that users can now choose who sees their WhatsApp status updates. The feature is currently being worked on and will be included in a future update.
Wabetainfo was the first to notice the new development. According to the website, WhatsApp is working on adding the ability to edit recipients when sending media in a future update. In addition, WhatsApp is working on a new shortcut for editing the recipients of your status updates.
Waebtainfo’s screenshot shows three different options before posting a picture or text as a status update. By tapping on the “My contacts except” option and the “only share with” option, you can choose to display your status to your “contacts” or to your selected contacts. The third option on the list would restrict access to your status updates to a small group of people. The first option will display your status updates to all of your contacts, whereas the second will display your status updates to all of your contacts except for a few people on your list.
Wabetainfo said that the feature is under development and a release date is unknown. WhatsApp has not made an announcement about the feature yet. Once it is done testing, the messaging app will be considered a stable rollout.
