WhatsApp is getting its own version of a status update feature, similar to Instagram Notes .

As on Instagram, the new feature allows users of the Meta-owned messaging app to post a short text update that can be seen by others. In this space, you could let people know what you’re up to or what’s new in your life.

The company suggests users could also post something that could serve as a conversation starter, or they could use the space to share why they might not be available to talk at present.

While the addition may be new to many, the company points out in a blog post that this “About” feature, as it’s called, was actually WhatsApp’s first feature. Before WhatsApp focused on secure, private messaging, it allowed people to quickly share short updates like this.
