WhatsApp to develop status update feature for desktop

Messaging app, WhatsApp, owned by Meta, is reportedly developing a new feature that will let users post status updates on desktop beta.

According to WABetaInfo, the new feature would enable users to post a status update directly from a new menu in the status area.

Users will be able to use the new option to alert the moderation team if they notice any suspicious status updates that might be in violation of the Terms of Service.

The status update will be forwarded similarly to reporting messages.

A future upgrade of WhatsApp Desktop beta will have the capability to report status updates, according to the report.

In the meantime, the messaging service last month gave some beta testers access to a new feature that lets users view profile images in group chats on a desktop.
