WhatsApp 'Status', a new copy to Snapchat

what

Facebook has proposed to bring, in one way or another, all the most relevant and interesting functionality of Snapchat to its different platforms, thanks to this we have the Stories function on Instagram and now, as has just been confirmed, the possibility, we assume which will already be present in the next WhatsApp update, in order to share pictures with drawings and stickers on our profile, a new possibility that will be baptized with the name of WhatsApp 'Status' o WhatsApp 'States' in Spanish.

These states They will work in a very similar way to how they do in Snaptchat. In this way, in the application itself we will have a tab where any user can take a picture or upload it directly from the terminal's hard drive. Once uploaded we find the option to edit it through the drawing tools that we already have in WhatsApp.

but I do not understand what you wrote

Tell you that once we have designed our photograph, we can decide if we want to share the status with all users o with just a few specific numbers. Similarly, WhatsApp will offer us the contrary possibility, that is, we can share the photo with all the contacts except with a specific number so that we can share the status with everyone except that person who, for certain reasons, is not interested in seeing it.

This new functionality is already present in the WhatsApp Beta for Android, specifically the 2.16.336, where, despite being disabled, users have discovered that installing an external application can enable it. It, at least for the moment, once it is active, appears in a new tab located between «Cat" and of "Calls«.

In addition to the status that we want to show publicly on our profile, WhatsApp now also includes a new icon, located specifically to the left of «Cat", that allows us directly share a photo or video with one or more contacts in the phonebook. These files can also be customized as Snapchat allows, with stickers and drawings on the image or video.
