WhatsApp is on the updates accelerator once again and is working on another feature to make your life easier. WABetaInfo has unearthed a feature to display your status update directly on the Chats page in WhatsApp for Android, and this handy feature is currently under development.

WhatsApp working on display status updates in the chat lists

Roughly a month ago, the company was reported to be working on a similar feature for iOS. But WhatsApp has not forgotten about Android users. We now see the social media platform is working on displaying status updates in the chat list for WhatsApp Android as well. So far, the feature has been spotted during a WhatsApp desktop beta, and it is under development for Android and iOS.

The thing with WhatsApp status updates is currently that they are, in a way, quite invisible. You need to know specifically to look for someone's status update, in order to find it. When this new feature is completed, you will be able to see who published a new status update directly in your chat lists. That way, you won't miss important status updates from your friends. According to WABetaInfo, if you chose to click on the chat cell, WhatsApp will open the conversation, and if you click on the profile pic of the contact, the app will show you the status update itself.

Reportedly, the feature cannot be disabled from WhatsApp Settings, so once it becomes official, you are probably stuck with it.
