According to WABetaInfo, this feature is under development so it is not ready to be released to beta users. "WhatsApp is planning to extend the functionality of status updates by adding the support for voice notes," as per the report. A voice note shared as a status update may be called "voice status". The feature will only be shared with the people you choose within your status privacy settings, and the voice note will be end-to-end encrypted as other images and videos shared to your status. Recently, the platform announced that it is rolling out a new feature that will let users react to messages with any emoji of their choice. Currently, the platform gives several users the ability to react with a limited number of just six emojis. CEO Mark Zuckerberg mentioned some of the emojis like a robot, french fries, surfing in the sea, etc. Meanwhile, a recent report said that WhatsApp is also likely working on a feature that will give iOS users the ability to hide their online status from everyone. Currently, users can choose to display their "Last Seen" information to contacts, some people, or no one. For a future version of the app, WhatsApp will let users follow a similar approach to the online toggle.

<keyword id="12161" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="san-francisco" source="Orion">San Francisco</keyword>, Meta-owned messaging platform WhatsApp is reportedly working on a new feature which will provide users the ability to report status updates on desktop beta. The new feature will allow users to report a status update right within a new menu in the status section, reports <keyword id="3961385" type="General" weightage="80" keywordseo="wabetainfo" source="Orion">WABetaInfo</keyword>. If users see any suspicious status update that might violate the Terms of Service, they will be able to report it to the moderation team with the new option. Same as the reporting messages, the status update will be forwarded to the company for moderation reasons so they can see if there is a violation. However, this feature does not break end-to-end encryption. Nobody, not even WhatsApp and <keyword id="399907" type="General" weightage="80" keywordseo="meta" source="Orion">Meta</keyword>, can see the content of users' messages and listen to their private calls, but it is important for the company to bring a report option to keep the platform and users safe. The ability to report status updates is under development and will be released in a future update of <keyword id="3357713" type="General" weightage="100" keywordseo="whatsapp-desktop" source="Orion">WhatsApp Desktop</keyword> beta, the report said.

WhatsApp working on feature to let users report status updates

<ul><li>Meta has rolled out a feature that allows users to access one <keyword id="790242" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="whatsapp" source="Orion">WhatsApp</keyword> account on multiple devices.</li><li>Earlier, users were limited to using one WhatsApp account on a single phone and multiple companion desktop devices.</li><li>WhatsApp says this feature will roll out to all users within the coming weeks.</li></ul>Mark Zuckerberg, the CEO of Facebook and Instagram, announced that WhatsApp is finally introducing multi-device login support, allowing users to access the same WhatsApp account on up to four phones. According to WhatsApp, this feature will be rolled out to all users in the coming weeks. Previously, users were limited to one WhatsApp account on a single phone and multiple companion desktop devices. This new <a href="https://blog.whatsapp.com/one-whatsapp-account-now-across-multiple-phones">multi-device login support</a> feature will allows users to link up to four devices to their account. Each linked device will function independently, even when the primary device is not connected to the internet, ensuring that messages continue to be received on the independent devices. However, if the primary device remains inactive for an extended period, WhatsApp will automatically log out of all companion devices. The four additional devices could be smartphones, PCs, or a combination of both, giving users flexibility in accessing their WhatsApp accounts across different devices. <cmsannotation type="cmsannotation" annotationid="Connect companion phones to WhatsApp" comment="subhead" text="Connect companion phones to WhatsApp">Connect companion phones to WhatsApp</cmsannotation> Meta has confirmed that there will be multiple ways to add companion devices to your WhatsApp account. Currently, one method involves entering the phone number on the secondary device and then inputting the OTP (One-Time Password) received on the primary device. Alternatively, users can add a companion device by scanning a QR code on the primary device. This means that users can have a WhatsApp account on an Android or iOS device and then add a companion device, either an Android or iOS device. Meta has also assured us that the update is being rolled out globally and will reach all devices in the coming weeks. To access this feature, it's important to download and install the latest version of WhatsApp on both your primary and companion smartphones. Both devices should have up-to-date versions of WhatsApp to utilize this feature effectively. Stay tuned with Business Insider India for more updates from Meta on additional ways to add companion devices to your WhatsApp account.
