WhatsApp has introduced new features for status updates, enhancing user interaction. Users can now like the status updates of others with a simple tap and can also reshare statuses in which they are mentioned.

Additionally, there is a new option to privately mention and tag others in their own status updates.

“Make sure those closest to you see your status, and let them reshare it easily with their audience, by privately mentioning them,” WhatsApp added.

Similar to tagging, likes on status updates are private and do not have a visible counter. This means that only the individual whose status you liked can see the likes in their viewer list.
