WhatsApp continues to test new features to improve user interaction.
Easy access to past statuses directly from chats
The new feature extends a previously implemented tool that showed a ring indicator around a contact’s profile when a new status appeared. Now, after viewing the status, the ring around the contact’s photo turns gray, making it easy to return to the update right from the chats tab.

The latest beta versions for Android and iOS include the ability to revisit previously viewed statuses right from the chat tab. Previously, the circular indicator would disappear after you viewed a contact’s status, making it difficult to revisit – you had to go to the “Statuses” section.

Gray indicator to revisit statuses
With the new feature, the ring around a profile in chat remains visible even after the status has been viewed. It changes color to gray, signaling that the update has already been viewed. This small but useful change makes it easier to revisit statuses, eliminating the need to switch between tabs to find them.

The update is still available to a limited number of users
The feature is currently only available to some beta testers using the latest versions of WhatsApp beta for iOS and Android. It will become available to more users in the coming days.

Common interface for user experience
On other popular platforms, when a user views short updates – analogous to statuses – the indicator also changes color, making it easy to return to that content later. The introduction of a similar feature in WhatsApp aims to create an intuitive interface that provides a comfortable user experience and makes it easier to interact with the app.
