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.
