WhatsApp Status Now Lets You Make Collages, Add Music Stickers, And More
WhatsApp is rolling out a fresh set of creative tools for its Status section, making it more dynamic and fun to use. The Meta-owned platform is introducing photo stickers, collage layouts, interactive “Add Yours” prompts, and an expanded music-sharing feature. These updates will be made available to all users worldwide in the coming months.
Collage Layouts for Storytelling
The new Layout feature lets users design collages directly inside WhatsApp. You can select up to six photos and arrange them in different grid patterns, perfect for showcasing holiday albums, event recaps, or everyday highlights without needing third-party editing apps.
Music Stickers for Extra Vibes
Building on the ability to add songs to Status, WhatsApp now allows music stickers. You can overlay your favourite track on any selfie or picture, creating an immersive audio-visual experience that makes posts more engaging.
Custom Photo Stickers
With the photo sticker tool, users can transform any picture into a personalised sticker. You can crop, resize, and shape the image before adding it to your Status, offering endless creative possibilities.
“Add Yours” Interactive Prompts
Borrowing inspiration from Instagram and Facebook, WhatsApp introduces the Add Yours feature. This lets you post a question or theme such as “Show your pet” or “Favourite travel spot” and invite friends to respond with their own images or videos, encouraging community interaction.
Security Measures in the Background
Alongside these creative updates, WhatsApp has intensified its fight against fraud. In the first half of this year alone, over 6.8 million scam-linked accounts were removed, many of which were tied to criminal operations in Southeast Asia.
Bottom line: These new features position WhatsApp Status as a stronger competitor to Instagram Stories and Snapchat, giving users more ways to share personal moments creatively and interactively while keeping the platform secure.
