WhatsApp is taking cues from its sibling app Instagram and giving its Status feature a fresh makeover. From creative collages to mood-matching music, these new additions aim to make your daily updates more expressive and interactive.


Let’s break it down, crisp and easy:


Layouts That Pop
You can now share up to six images in a single Status using the new Layout tool. Think of it as your mini-collage editor right inside WhatsApp — simple, stylish, and super handy.

Music, Your Way
Love that one song? Now you can turn it into a full Status moment. WhatsApp lets you add a track directly to your Status, complete with a music sticker to show off your vibe. It's the perfect way to say how you feel — without saying a word.

Photo Stickers, Freestyle
Got a pic you love? Turn it into a sticker! You can now cut, crop, and customize photos to place them as stickers in your Status. It’s a playful way to personalize updates and show off your creativity.

Add Yours, Join In
That Instagram-favorite ‘Add Yours’ sticker is making its debut on WhatsApp. It encourages friends (or even strangers) to hop on a shared trend or topic, bringing a touch of community to what was once a mostly private space.


When’s It Coming?
All these features are rolling out gradually over the coming months. So, if you don’t see them yet, keep your app updated — the fun is on its way.

In short, WhatsApp is no longer just a messaging app — it's becoming a storytelling space. Ready to Status like never before?
