According to the latest report, recently, WhatsApp is working hard to add new Instagram features to its chat platform. But in addition to “quick responses,” the company plans to add an Instagram feature in the future. According to WABetainfo, the Meta-owned company is working on a new feature that will allow users to see status updates in the chat list.
Instagram users can already see status updates in their private chat list. Similar features will soon be available to WhatsApp users. However, WABetainfo did not reveal a possible release date for the feature.
The ability to see status updates in the chat list was first spotted on WhatsApp desktop, but the publisher claims that Android and iOS users will also get the update. This feature is currently in development, so it is not intended for everyday users.
WhatsApp recently announced several new features, including message reactions, communities, the ability for admins to delete problematic messages in groups, file sharing improvements, 32-person audio calls, and more. These features will be coming to WhatsApp in the coming weeks.
