WhatsApp introduces iOS-like status confirmation feature for Android

WhatsApp has released a fresh beta (v2.24.12.27) update for Android devices, which introduces a new feature that allows users to confirm their privacy settings before posting a status update. This feature is similar to one already available for iPhone users and is currently being tested by a limited number of beta users.

The update provides users more control over who sees their status updates. Before posting, users are prompted to review and customize the recipients for their content to ensure that only chosen contacts can view it.

The status privacy confirmation feature simplifies the process of sharing updates by allowing users to set their preferences once, rather than having to do so for each status.

It means that now you won’t have to go into status privacy to select an option from the ‘Who can see my status updates’ setting as you can now manage it directly while posting your status.

This new feature is gradually becoming available to more Android beta users through the Google Play Store.
