WhatsApp continues to add new features to enhance user experience. Recently, a significant innovation in status updates has been revealed. According to a report by WABetaInfo, this new feature detected in both Android and iOS beta versions will bring the status updates of contacts users frequently communicate with to the top.
New Ranking System
This new ranking system prioritizes status updates based on the interaction within the user’s contact list. For example, status updates of people you message the most or have recently spoken with will be positioned more prominently within the app. This will be particularly useful for users with a wide social circle who constantly encounter numerous updates.
Privacy and Personalization
Moreover, this update includes changes such as removing time indicators from status updates and storing data directly on devices instead of servers. This could make each user’s experience more personal and secure. Currently in beta testing, this feature will be further improved based on user feedback before being made available to all users. According to WhatsApp, the new ranking system is expected to be rolled out to all users soon.
