WEB DESK: Meta’s messaging platform WhatsApp is gearing up to introduce a feature similar to Instagram Stories, allowing users to tag or mention others in their Status.
The feature will also allow users to privately mention and tag other users in their WhatsApp Status, according to tech website Gagadget.
The upcoming feature differs from Instagram where anyone can see the people mentioned in Stories.
WhatsApp’s feature will also allow the privately mentioned users to reshare a status if they want to.
The Meta-owned WhatsApp capped the mentioned users at five in a single Status, while working to bring likes to Status with a single tap, an option similar to Instagram’s heart button. However, the number of likes will be kept private in WhatsApp stories.
Meanwhile, the messaging platform said that it is working on “bringing more features to Status and the Updates tab over the next few months.”
Earlier, reports emerged that WhatsApp was testing a redesigned typing indicator for both personal and group chats
