WhatsApp introduces new creative tools for status updates
WhatsApp will soon allow users to post collages, music and new stickers as part of their WhatsApp Status. The status feature within WhatsApp functions similarly to the Stories feature on Facebook and Instagram. Users can share text, photo or video to their status, which will disappear after 24 hours.
Since March, users have had the option to add a song clip to their status and can select songs from the app's music library. These music clips can be 15 seconds long when posted with photos or 60 seconds long when posted with videos. Now, those clips can be turned into stickers to add some musical flair to your status. Users also have the option to share the song itself as a standalone status update.
A new “Layout” feature will let users create a collage of up to six pictures and share them in their status in a customized layout. A new sticker called “Add Yours” will ask your followers to engage with your status by responding with their own photos. Photos can also now be turned into stickers, which can then be resized and reshaped before being added to your status.
According to Meta, the new status features will start rolling out soon and will become more widely available on WhatsApp in the coming months.This article originally appeared on Engadget at https://www.engadget.com/big-tech/whatsapp-introduces-new-creative-tools-for-status-updates-180516963.html?src=rss
