WhatsApp Enhances Status Updates with Tagging and Like Features

The new features allow users to tag others privately and like status updates, rolling out globally in the coming weeks.

WhatsApp users can now tag up to five people in their Status updates, enhancing connectivity with friends and family.
The tagging feature includes privacy controls, allowing users to mention others without displaying their names publicly.
Users will receive private notifications when tagged and can choose to reshare the Status on their own accounts.
A new 'like' feature enables users to acknowledge Status updates with a single tap, similar to Instagram Stories.
Both the tagging and like features, along with new video call effects, are being gradually rolled out to users worldwide.
