WhatsApp will let you view Status directly from chat list soon.
WhatsApp is on a spree with updates. The Meta-owned chat company recently announced a range of privacy features for the app and now another major update is under testing. According to WaBetaInfo, the website that updates its readers with new WhatsApp updates, WhatsApp is rolling out an update that will let users view status updates within the chat list. It says that the feature for now is available to only WhatsApp beta users using the Android 2.22.18.17 version of the app. This means that the feature is still in testing and will take time to come to everyone.
Status is the Story-like feature in WhatsApp for posting photos and videos in the app that disappear after 24 hours. Currently, to view a contact’s Status, you need to go to the Status tab and tap on his or her status. This will change once the new feature is live for all. Once active, users will be able to see the Status right from the chat list.
