STATUS UPDATES
In the article about the WhatsApp beta for iOS 24.10.10.74 update, we announced that WhatsApp was rolling out a feature to share videos of up to 1 minute in length via status updates. Through this enhancement, WhatsApp aims to cater to the growing demand among iOS users for an extended duration to share longer videos through status updates. It appears that WhatsApp is currently experimenting with new tools aimed at offering users enhanced control over the content they share and the recipients with whom they share it. After installing the latest WhatsApp beta for iOS 24.10.10.75 update, which is available on the TestFlight app, we discovered that WhatsApp is now rolling out an audience control feature for status updates!
As you can see from the attached screenshot, some beta testers can now explore a new audience selector when sharing images and videos through status updates. Specifically, WhatsApp will prompt users to review the audience they are sharing their content with, allowing them to ensure it reaches the intended recipients. Before sharing images and videos via status updates, users will have the option to change their audience by selecting their favorite contacts, giving them greater control over their sharing experience.
In our opinion, this feature aims to enhance user privacy and customization, ensuring that users can easily manage who sees their updates. By allowing users to select their audience more thoughtfully, it encourages them to double-check and consider more carefully whom they are sharing their content with. In addition, recognizing that specific content may require a different audience, users will be able to quickly change their audience settings for each status update, ensuring that their content reaches the most appropriate contacts each time.
The audience control feature for status updates is available to some beta testers who install the latest version of WhatsApp beta for iOS from the TestFlight app, and it's rolling out to more people over the coming week.
