WhatsApp has announced that it will be adding more features to WhatsApp Status.
The new features that set to roll out include status likes, private mentions and the ability to reshare a status that you are mentioned in.
WhatsApp said that you can let someone know you are thinking of them or you like their status with a single tap of a button. Status likes are private, so only the person whose status you liked can see them as in the list of viewers.
You can let the people who are closest to you see your status or let them reshare the status by privately mentioning them. Those you mention will be notified privately, and the mention won’t be shown on your status.
