WhatsApp is about to make sharing status updates even more exciting. The company is rolling out a new feature that will allow users to add sticker images to their status. This feature will enable users to place multiple sticker-like images in a single status update instead of posting separate ones. Some beta users have already received access to this feature. Let’s take a closer look at how it works and what to expect.
How the New Feature Works
This feature is already available on Instagram, where users can add additional images to their status updates in the form of stickers. With this update, WhatsApp users can also make their status updates more creative and engaging. When adding a sticker image to a photo or video, WhatsApp will offer various shape options, such as circles, hearts, rectangles, and stars. Users can select their preferred shape and then resize or move the sticker to their desired location on the image or video. This flexibility allows users to customize their status updates in a fun and unique way.
Who Can Access This Feature Now?
Currently, this feature is available only to a select group of beta testers. Reports suggest that it will first be rolled out to Android users, followed by a wider release to all Android users in the coming days. To enjoy the latest WhatsApp features, users should ensure that their app is regularly updated to the latest version.
WhatsApp to Introduce UPI Lite for Easy Payments
In addition to the new status update feature, WhatsApp is also gearing up to introduce UPI Lite in its payment functionality in India. This addition will make transactions smoother and more convenient for users. UPI Lite is primarily used for small-value transactions and does not require core banking system involvement. With this feature, WhatsApp transactions will become even more seamless, and users will no longer need to enter their PIN repeatedly for small payments.
WhatsApp continues to enhance user experience by introducing innovative features like sticker images in status updates and UPI Lite payments. These updates are designed to make the platform more engaging and user-friendly. As the rollout progresses, more users will get access to these exciting features, making their interactions on WhatsApp even more fun and efficient. Stay tuned for further updates and ensure your app is up to date to enjoy the latest enhancements.
