WhatsApp may soon allow users to report status updates

WhatsApp is constantly working on features to improve the user’s experience. The messaging app is now working on a new feature which will give users the power to report status updates on the desktop beta. WhatsApp is reportedly creating a new menu in the status section, which will make the reporting process seamless. WhatsApp already has the option to let people report messages and contacts for violating the terms of service of the messaging app.As per Wabetainfo, WhatsApp will now let users report Status updates. For instance, if a person in your contact has shared an obscene video as a Status update or any video which harms the sentiments of people or incites violence can be reported on WhatsApp. The messaging app is currently testing the feature on its desktop version.

“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,” Wabetainfo noted.
