WHATSAPP STATUS ARCHIVE IS NOW AVAILABLE ON ANDROID FOR BUSINESSES

Tue 30 May 2023:

‘Status archive’ is a new feature that WhatsApp, which is owned by Meta, is apparently releasing for businesses to test out on Android.

When the feature is turned on, the status updates will be archived on users’ devices after 24 hours.

Users can also view their archive straight from the menu on the Status tab and modify their archive preferences there as well.

As the archive is always private, only the businesses can see their archived status updates.

Moreover, the report said that this feature could be very useful for businesses as it will allow them to republish a status from their archive and share it with their customers again in order to improve their business.

The status updates will be stored on the device for up to 30 days, and businesses will still be able to create advertisements for Facebook or Instagram or share the status updates until they expire in the archive.

In the upcoming weeks, more people will be able to access the new feature, which is currently only accessible to beta testers.

WhatsApp is developing a new feature dubbed “WhatsApp usernames” that will allow users to select original usernames for their accounts.

With this feature, users will be able to opt for a unique and memorable username, instead of depending solely on phone numbers to identify contacts.
