WhatsApp will soon allow users to post collages, music, and new stickers as part of their WhatsApp status. The WhatsApp status feature functions similarly to the Stories feature on Facebook and Instagram. Users can post text, photos, or videos to their status, which disappears after 24 hours.
Since March, users have been able to add a music video to their status and can choose songs from the app’s music library. These music clips can be 15 seconds long if posted with photos or 60 seconds long if posted with videos. These clips can now be turned into stickers to add a musical twist to your status. Users also have the option to share the song itself as a separate status update.
The new “Layout” feature will allow users to create collages of up to six photos and share them in their status in a customized layout. A new sticker called “Add Your Own” will ask your followers to contribute to your status by replying with their own photos. Photos can also be turned into stickers, which can then be resized and shaped before being added to your status.
According to Meta, the new status features will begin rolling out soon and will become more widely available on WhatsApp in the coming months.
