The popular messaging platform WhatsApp is reportedly working on a new feature that could give users more privacy and control over their status updates. Inspired by a feature already seen on other social platforms, this upcoming option will allow users to share status updates only with a selected group of contacts.
What the New Feature Does
The new system will let users create a specific list of selected contacts. Only the people included in that list will be able to view certain private status updates.

- Users won’t need to share personal updates with all contacts
- More control over who sees what
- A safer and more private sharing experience
Why This Matters
Many people hesitate to post personal thoughts, photos, or updates because their contact list includes colleagues, distant relatives, or acquaintances. This feature aims to solve that issue by giving users selective visibility.
It adds another layer of privacy without removing the status feature itself.

Reports suggest the feature is currently in the testing phase. It may be rolled out gradually in future updates once development and testing are complete.
No official release date has been announced yet.
How It Could Change Usage
- More frequent status sharing among close friends
- Reduced privacy concerns
- Better personalization of updates
This could make status updates feel more like private conversations rather than public posts.
