Just like Instagram’s feature of resharing status updates, WhatsApp might bring a similar feature for its users.

As reported by WABetaInfo, WhatsApp plans to bring a ‘reshare status’ update.

WhatsApp is developing a new feature that can allow you to reshare status updates.

This feature is quite similar to Instagram’s feature, where we get to share other’s stories or status updates.

The update eventually aims to make it easier for users to share content with their contacts.

It is believed that the new feature, named “Reshare Status Updates,” is designed to simplify the process of sharing status updates where you have been tagged/mentioned.

For example, you get tagged in a story or get mentioned by someone. This new feature will allow you to reshare that update with your contacts, ensuring that there is a broader dissemination of relevant content.

WABetaInfo highlighted that when launched, the feature will include a new button within the status update interface.  This button can allow you to easily reshare the status updates where you have been mentioned.

This process is designed to be seamless, saving users the hassle of taking screenshots of them being mentioned in stories.

Currently, the feature is expected to be available only to Beta testers.  However, the proposed feature is still under development and will be part of a future update.

That's a Wrap!
