Whatsapp To Soon Show Preview Of Links Shared As Status

WhatsApp is prepping up a new addition for its Status feature after the rumored ability to react to Status with emojis reactions and Status updates in the chat list. The new rumored feature will show you rich previews of links shared as a text status. Here’s a look at what this will look like.

A recent report by WABetaInfo reveals that WhatsApp is in the development stages of Rich Link Preview for text Statuses. This essentially means while sharing a link as a WhatsApp Status, users will be able to see the preview of the link with more details, much like it can be viewed when a link is shared in messages.

The screenshot is said to be of a WhatsApp Status update on iOS, but it is expected to reach Android as well as desktop users. However, you should know that it is still under development and will eventually reach WhatsApp beta testers. There’s no word on when it will be available for the general audience.
