WhatsApp brought status updates for its users some time back.
The messaging app lets users share status updates that are active on their profile picture and in a separate tab.
WhatsApp is reportedly working on a new feature that will give users the ability to report status updates on desktop beta.
As reported by WABetaInfo, the new feature will allow users to report status updates in a new menu in the Status section.
If users spot any suspicious status update that may violate the terms of service, they will be able to report it to the moderation team with the new option.
Similar to reporting messages, status updates will be forwarded to the company for moderation reasons so they can see if a violation has occurred.
However, this feature does not break end-to-end encryption.
No one, not even WhatsApp and Meta, can see the contents of users’ messages and listen to their private calls, but it is important for the company to bring a report option to keep the platform and users safe.
The report states that the ability to report status updates is under development and will be released in a future update of WhatsApp Desktop Beta.
Meanwhile, last month, the messaging platform rolled out a new feature for some beta testers that allows users to view profile photos within group chats on desktop.
