An upcoming WhatsApp update will give you more ways to share. Soon, you’ll be able to decide who can forward your status on the messenger. Until now, only a handful of users have access to this upgrade.
WhatsApp Update: New Status Feature Is Coming
The popular messaging app lets you stay in touch with friends and family, whether that’s through messages or it’s popular status feature. According to WABetaInfo, a new WhatsApp update for iOS version 25.27.10.72 will expand the latter feature even further. You’ll soon have more control over the content you post and be able to choose who can share your status with other contacts – or block that option.
After the WhatsApp update, you’ll find a new slider in the status editor where you can select “Allow Sharing.” This option will be placed directly under the other audience selection controls. You can already decide whether your status is visible to all your contacts or only selected people. This gives you more privacy, letting you show your content to an exclusive audience.

WhatsApp Status: These Users Already Have the Upgrade
This extra feature fits seamlessly into the new interface when you create and post your WhatsApp status as usual. If you want to set the option before sharing, you can go to settings and select the same control under privacy. That way, you don’t have to switch to the drawing editor to restrict or allow sharing again.
Currently, the WhatsApp update is only available to beta program participants. While Android users have already tested the new status feature, access is now being expanded for iOS and iPhone owners. It’s still unclear when this handy feature will roll out to all users. Usually, new upgrades on the messenger are released within a few weeks or months.
