We're introducing the ability to record and share voice messages up to 30 seconds on WhatsApp status. Your most recent audience selection will be saved and used as the default for your next status. We're providing you with the flexibility to update your privacy settings per status so you can choose who views your status each time you update it. We're excited to add a set of new features to status on WhatsApp that make it easier to express yourself and connect with others.Įvery status you share may not always be right for all of your contacts. Just like your personal chats and calls, your WhatsApp status is protected by end-to-end encryption so you can share privately and securely. They disappear in 24 hours and may include photos, videos, GIFs, text, and more. Status is a popular way to share ephemeral updates with friends and close contacts on WhatsApp. And much more: Share location and places, Exchange contacts, Custom wallpaper, Custom notification sounds, Landscape mode, Message timestamps, Email chat history, Broadcast messages and media to many contacts at once, and much much more.Offline Messages: Even if you miss your push notifications or turn off your iPhone, WhatsApp will save your messages offline until you retrieve them during the next application use.

Your contacts who already have WhatsApp Messenger will be automatically displayed under Favorites, similar to a buddy list.
