WhatsApp is undergoing significant updates to enhance user experience, focusing on the status feature across its platform. The messaging giant is testing a redesigned status bar that emphasizes stories and channels, aiming for a more engaging user interface. This includes a revamped status menu on Android devices, offering previews and easier access to stories and channels, highlighted with #WhatsApp and #Android hashtags. Additionally, a beta update for Android introduces card-based previews for status updates, facilitating a more intuitive interaction with content. In a notable policy shift, WhatsApp now allows users to start conversations without the need to add phone numbers to their contact list, a change that has already taken effect. This rule modification is expected to impact millions of users, streamlining communication and enhancing privacy.
