WhatsApp currently keeps the Status updates separate from the core messaging aspect in a dedicated ‘Status’ section. But if a new report by WhatsApp tipster WABetaInfo is anything to go by, that could change soon.WhatsApp could offer an option to view status updates when you tap on a contact’s profile picture – much like Instagram Stories.
According to WABetaInfo’s report, there’s a hidden option to view status updates by tapping the profile picture in the latest beta. The feature was spotted in WhatsApp beta 2.21.17.5 for Android. When it becomes available, pressing the profile picture will show you two options — View profile photo and View status. Check out the interface below: Image: WABetaInfo
