WhatsApp making Status accessible from the Chat screen
WhatsApp’s traditional Status section became controversial after the Channels feature integration. The messenger app replaced the list form of Status with Instagram-like heads. Well, WhatsApp is now testing the ability to make Status directly from the chat screen.
According to WABetaInfo, WhatsApp Beta for Android 2.23.24.23 is rolling out with the ability to check Status from the Chat screen. Status updates can also be visible in the conversation screen as the status ring now appears around the profile photo within the top app bar.

This change significantly enhances the overall user experience by minimizing the need to navigate between tabs, and improving the process of staying connected with your contacts by viewing their status updates even from the conversation screen.
In addition, this reduced navigation not only enhances efficiency but also contributes to a more user-friendly experience. It’s very important to note that if you choose to mute status updates from a particular contact, you won’t see them when you open the conversation with that contact.
