Technology Desk, New Delhi. WhatsApp is testing a new feature on its Android app. This is a privacy feature, which will give users more control over their status. The website that tracks WhatsApp updates and upcoming features has given information about this feature. After the arrival of this new feature on Meta's social media app, users will be able to decide who can reshare their shared status. If a user shares someone's status on WhatsApp, then the information of the original author will not be available. Instead, a reshare icon will be visible.
Status update re-sharing feature
According to a report by WABetaInfo, an upcoming feature with status resharing controls has been spotted in the WhatsApp Beta app for Android version 2.25.27.5. This beta update to WhatsApp improves user privacy and is designed to give users more control over their shared statuses.
Screenshots of WhatsApp's upcoming feature reveal that users will soon have the option to enable or disable status sharing. Currently, this feature is available on the WhatsApp Beta Android app. However, this feature will be off by default. Users will need to manually enable it.
This feature will offer users more control over the statuses they share. According to WABetaInfo, previously, users only had control over who could see their statuses. Now, users can also control who can share their statuses. Additionally, users will be able to select who can share their statuses.
Additionally, if a user shares someone's status, no information about the original author will be shared on their profile. Only a re-share icon will be visible in the status. WhatsApp is currently testing this feature. Details about when it will be available are currently unknown.
