Meta always comes up with new updates, so that they can increase their user’s experience. And now meta is testing a new WhatsApp Status Preview feature that will allow users to take a look at any status without opening it completely.
In today’s blog, we will talk about this new WhatsApp Status Preview feature in detail. We will also talk about how it’s work and when it’s launch. So, let’s get started!
What is Status Preview Feature?
Status Preview Feature is a feature that will help you take a glimpse of any contact’s status before viewing it. Till now, whenever a status came, we did not know what was in that status. We had to open the entire status, only then we could know whether it is a photo, video or text.
But now with the new Status Preview feature, you will not have to face this hassle. You will be able to see what is in the status without opening it. This will help you decide whether you want to see the entire status or not.
What stage is WhatsApp Status Preview feature in?
Presently, Status Preview feature is in the testing stage. It has been carried on a mission to choose WhatsApp beta clients on form 2.24.14.2 of the Android application. This implies that this component isn’t accessible to all clients at the present time.
In any case, assuming testing performs well and client criticism stays positive, it tends not out of the ordinary that this element will be delivered for all WhatsApp clients in the approaching time.
How will the new status preview feature work?
The new status preview feature works quite easily. Let’s understand it step-by-step:
- When a new status of one of your contacts comes, a small window will appear next to his profile picture in the WhatsApp status tab.
- This window is the status preview. In this window, you will get a brief look at the status. For example, on the off chance that there is a photograph in the status, you will see a thumbnail of a similar photograph. On the off chance that the status has a video, you will see a little piece of the video.
- If you just want to know what is in the status, you can see this preview. If you want to see the full status, tap on the preview.
- It is important to note that seeing the preview does not tell whether the status has any caption or sound or not. For complete information, you will have to see the full status.
Conclusion
The WhatsApp status preview feature is a great feature. This will be very convenient for the users and will also save their time. It is expected that WhatsApp will soon roll out this feature for all users.
