WhatsApp is developing a slew of new features to improve the user experience. WhatsApp was spotted testing the ability for beta users to undo status updates. This means that whenever a user posts a status update on WhatsApp, they will now see an undo option. The feature was discovered in the iOS beta app, but it has not yet been made available to non-beta users.
According to Wabetainfo, WhatsApp has added the ability to undo status updates in the beta version of the app. The feature would allow you to quickly delete a status update that you had accidentally posted. Currently, you must go through the arduous process of tapping on the three dots to delete a status update that you posted in haste or by mistake. However, once the undo feature is available, you will be able to quickly recall anything you have posted on the messaging app. WhatsApp Status is similar to Instagram Stories, which are visible for 24 hours on the platform. The status can be viewed by your contacts, but it is not visible to people who have not been added to your contact list.
Along with the ability to undo status updates, WhatsApp addressed issues with new status updates. The feature has been made available to iOS beta users, so for the time being, only iOS users can test it. Users must update to WhatsApp beta for iOS 2.21.240.17 in order to use the feature.
“After publishing the status update, the option “Undo” will be momentarily visible: if you select it, the status update will be automatically deleted for everyone. This shortcut is useful when you post something by mistake, and you want to quickly delete it. This feature is available for some iOS beta testers today. If it’s not available for your WhatsApp account, it means it has not been rolled out for you yet and the next beta updates may help your account to receive the feature,” the report said.
Apart from that, WhatsApp is working on a feature that will allow users to quickly forward stickers. WhatsApp is said to have added a new shortcut next to the stickers that will allow users to forward stickers without much effort. In the message thread, the forward shortcut will appear next to the sticker. You can forward the shortcut to your contacts by tapping on it. Once the feature is available, users will no longer have to go through the time-consuming process of tapping and holding the sticker before forwarding it to their contacts.
