WhatsApp to soon let users report status updates

WhatsApp will let users report status updates on desktop beta very soon. The Meta-owned messaging application is working on the feature which will allow users to report a status update right within a new menu in the status section.

The new option will reportedly render the users a fair opportunity to report status updates violating the Terms of Service. WhatsApp users can file a report against a suspicious status within a new menu in the status section. However, this feature does not break end-to-end encryption. The ability to report status updates is under development and will be released in a future update of WhatsApp Desktop beta.

A WABetainfo report stated, “It will be possible to report a status update right within a new menu in the status section. Thanks to this option, in case you see any suspicious status update that may violate their Terms of Service, you will finally be able to report it to the moderation team. As happens with reporting messages, the status update will be forwarded to WhatsApp for moderation reasons so they can see if there is a violation.”

WhatsApp is also planning to roll out the DND feature on WhatsApp desktop app. WhatsApp's upcoming feature will now help you turn off notifications for WhatsApp calls on Windows. It will let users disable notifications for calls feature to some beta testers through the official beta channel on the Microsoft Store. WhatsApp has reported that users who have updated their WhatsApp app for Windows are likely to get the option for disabling notifications within the app’s settings. The new feature will help users in silencing incoming WhatsApp calls if they don’t want to receive them.
