WhatsApp is rolling out a feature for status updates.

[{"selector":"#anim-dbb57b70-863e-4095-818a-071721ec949d [data-leaf-element=\"true\"]","keyframes":{"transform":["translate(10.076930661127113%, 0%) scale(1.5)","translate(0%, 0%) scale(1)"]},"delay":0,"duration":1500,"easing":"cubic-bezier(.3,0,.55,1)","fill":"forwards"}]

The feature lets users filter and view updates in a vertical list.

[{"selector":"#anim-19d3344d-87ac-4101-a006-3b1432a427d1 [data-leaf-element=\"true\"]","keyframes":{"transform":["translate(1.014391052959963%, -21.008402019469035%) scale(1.4201680672268908)","translate(0%, 0%) scale(1)"]},"delay":0,"duration":1500,"easing":"cubic-bezier(.3,0,.55,1)","fill":"forwards"}]

It's currently available on the latest WhatsApp beta for iOS.

[{"selector":"#anim-7fc7641f-39bf-4d7f-9c9c-f0e526c2dd10 [data-leaf-element=\"true\"]","keyframes":{"transform":["translate(-3.552713678800501e-15%, 0%) scale(1.5)","translate(0%, 0%) scale(1)"]},"delay":0,"duration":1500,"easing":"cubic-bezier(.3,0,.55,1)","fill":"forwards"}]

The rollout will extend to more users over the coming weeks.

The update introduces a new section for status updates.

The new section displays updates in a vertical list.
