News of a comprehensive update to the beloved status sharing section in the Whatsapp application has recently made waves. Accordingly, this section will now be more prominent and easier to use compared to before.

If this happens, Whatsapp will move closer to its goal of becoming a messaging-focused social media platform. Here are the details…
Whatsapp is updating the status sharing section!
With the new update, Whatsapp will transform circular status images into vertical rectangles to make them more prominent. This innovation, still in the beta stage, is said to be initially active only for devices using the Android operating system. While it is unclear whether the update will be offered to iPhone users and no official release date has been announced yet.
Recently, Whatsapp also implemented a comprehensive update to the channels section, continuing its transition from a messaging app to a social media platform. One of the major concerns expressed is that, ultimately, the application may deviate completely from its messaging focus.
