WhatsApp is leveling up the game by letting you share your status updates not just from your main device but also from linked devices and the web version. It’s like giving your status a passport to travel across platforms. They’re even testing WhatsApp for iPad, a potential new sidekick in the WhatsApp family.
With the upcoming update, you can effortlessly post your status updates using the web version and linked devices. If you’re tech-savvy and diving into the beta versions of WhatsApp Web and WhatsApp for Android, you might just get an early taste of this feature on your secondary gadgets. And let’s not forget the cool companion mode – it lets you access your chats on up to four extra devices, even when your main phone is taking a break.
In the latest WhatsApp Web beta version 2.2353.59, the WhatsApp detectives at WABetaInfo uncovered this gem of a feature within the web client.
Although there’s no official date for the big rollout, the folks at India Today Tech have given it a thumbs up after successfully testing it on WhatsApp web. Word on the street is that this feature will eventually make its way to iOS companion devices. Fingers crossed!
For those lucky enough to have a sneak peek, sharing your status is a breeze. Just click on the green icon next to your profile photo in the Status section. A nifty drop-down menu will pop up, asking if you want to upload status updates through Photos & Videos or Text. Take your pick, and boom, you’re good to go.
WABetaInfo spilled the beans that soon you’ll be able to share status updates on companion devices too. Users rocking the updated WhatsApp beta for Android 2.24.1.4 will soon be able to add a status update directly from their companion device.
