WhatsApp is working on a new optional feature to allow resharing and forwarding status updates, and it will be available in a future update.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The new feature will let users decide whether their status updates can be shared, or scheduled for release in a future update, according to WABetaInfo<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Currently, the only way to share a status update is by being mentioned by a contact, which allows users to publish that specific update. However, there is currently no option to reshare regular status updates unless users are directly mentioned in them by their contacts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Once this feature is rolled out, a tooltip will appear when attempting to share a status update. This tooltip will inform users that they can choose whether or not to allow others to share their status updates. <\/p>\n\n\n\n A dedicated toggle will give users full control over this option, although it is disabled by default to ensure a private experience for all users from the outset. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Others will only be able to reshare status updates with their contacts if the user explicitly enables the toggle.<\/p>\n\n\n\n When a contact’s status update is shared, the resharing process will remain entirely private, as WhatsApp has designed this feature to ensure that sensitive information is protected at all times. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Specifically, the phone number of the user who originally posted the status update will never be visible to those who receive or view the reshared content. <\/p>\n\n\n\n This privacy measure applies universally, regardless of how many times a status update is shared. <\/p>\n\n\n\n The new feature is under development and it will be available in a future update.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" WhatsApp is working on a new optional feature to allow resharing and forwarding status updates, and it will be available in a future update.
