WhatsApp announced last night the launch of a new function for applications iPhone and Android available for its users, but also for the WhatsApp Web platform. We are talking about a new function that is offered by the company after it was initially implemented within the social network Facebook in the course of this she, proving to be very popular for publishing posts on the net.
WhatsApp allows iPhone and Android users to publish new statuses using different fonts and colors for their background, something impossible to do in the past. Now published statuses for WhatsApp can have texts, different colors for backgrounds, but also inserted web links, so users can display there messages in almost any format they want for everyone to see.
WhatsApp claims that 250 million people publish statuses every month through the application, so we are talking about a functionality that will be useful to them. Those who used these functions within Facebook will see something similar in the WhatsApp application, so the function will probably have a high degree of use, but maybe it will convince new people to update their status in the messaging platform more often.
WhatsApp now has a popular Facebook feature
WhatsApp has for some time implemented privacy functions for the statuses set by us, so that we can choose who sees this information after publication. WhatsApp also allows us to see who looked at our status recently, as it happens with Facebook and Instagram applications, where we can publish Stories and see who followed them.
WhatsApp has also introduced a button that allows us to leave a comment on a status published by another person, something impossible to do until now. This comment can contain not only texts or web links, but also pictures, video clips, or animated GIF images, so WhatsApp has slowly, slowly, turned into a real social network, not just a text messaging platform .
"Today, WhatsApp announced a fun, new way for the 250 million monthly iOS and Android users of WhatsApp Status to express themselves. The new feature makes it easy to share creative text-based status updates. Now you never have to worry about getting the word out to all your family and friends. Whether you're looking for vacation recommendations or notifying a group about the address for a party, the text-based status feature allows you to update your contacts in a fun and personal way. To customize text statuses, users can choose a specific font and background color, or include links."
WhatsApp has slowly implemented various functions that we initially saw available in the Instagram and Facebook applications, they are now offered in this one as well. The new function for WhatsApp statuses is officially offered starting today, but if you don't see it yet, then you will have to wait a little longer until it will be activated on your phones in the next few hours.
WhatsApp is an application available for free on iPhone and Android worldwide.
