Now you will gain a few essential seconds so that you can erase that status update that you sent by mistake.
While WhatsApp status updates are not as widely used as instagram stories, The truth is that from time to time we use them to inform our contacts of a particular event, and if you have a company account, it may be a function that you use a lot to publicize a product or service to your customers.
Be that as it may, status updates are a double-edged sword, since a small mistake with them can cause great reputational damage if you are a company or the mockery of all your contacts if you are an individual.
And is that although there is already a way to eliminate our status updates at any time, sometimes being two or three seconds late causes dozens of customers to have read something that perhaps was not entirely correct.
That is why WhatsApp is testing in the beta version for Android 2.21.22.6 a new emergency clear button for status updates. As you well know, these status updates disappear after 24 hours and are quite similar to what could be Instagram stories.
With this new button we can quickly erase a status update that we mistakenly released ahead of time.
As you can see in the screenshot shared by wabetainfo, it is shown that the “undo / delete” button will appear on the opposite side of the “submitted status” button and, therefore, will be easily accessible so that we can delete the recently published status. in less than a second.
While WhatsApp already offers users the option to delete their status updates, this new undo button makes the process faster since the button is right in the same interface where the shipment is made. As we said, winning two or three seconds is essential, especially if you are a company.
In addition, the interface itself will notify you in real time when the status update has been deleted, so you will be completely calm.
This status update clearing emergency button is available as part of the Android 2.21.22.6 beta version, but it is likely that certain users will also find it in the 2.21.22.5 beta version.
