WhatsApp Status New Features Bring Instagram Vibes
WhatsApp has launched a set of new Status features, adding more creativity and interaction for users. These updates closely resemble popular Instagram tools.
Meta shared in a blog post, “Whether it’s everyday life or special events, these tools help bring your stories to life.”
1. Photo Layouts for Better Visual Sharing
With the Layout feature, users can now add up to six photos in one Status update. They can arrange the pictures using new collage templates.
This update makes it easier to share a complete moment in a single view. It’s simple, fast, and visually appealing.
2. Music Stickers to Set the Mood
WhatsApp has added music support to Status updates. Users can now add a specific song to express their current mood.
Furthermore, the music sticker lets you pair a track with photos or videos, similar to Instagram Stories. This feature is perfect for emotional or fun updates.

3. Photo Stickers Add a Creative Edge
Another new feature lets users convert their photos into stickers. These can be resized, shaped, and edited before being added to a Status.
In addition, this gives users more control over the look and feel of their updates. It’s ideal for adding a personal or funny twist.
4. ‘Add Yours’ Sticker for Trendy Interactions
WhatsApp now offers the ‘Add Yours’ sticker. Borrowed from Instagram, this tool lets users start a trend with a single prompt.
For example, you can post “Your morning view?” and friends can reply with their own version. This keeps interactions fresh and engaging.
When Will These WhatsApp Status New Features Arrive?
These updates are rolling out in phases. WhatsApp says all users will receive the features in the next few months.
Meanwhile, keep your app updated to be among the first to try them.
