WhatsApp Desktop Beta Users Can Report A New Status That Disrupts

JAKARTA - So far WhatsApp users can only mute status updates from other users at that time disturbing, now, they can report a person's status update.

The Meta messaging platform is reportedly working on a new feature that will give users the ability to report status updates in desktop apps.

According to the WABetaInfo report, with this new feature, users can report status updates directly in the new option in the status section.

If users see a suspicious status update that may violate the Terms of Service, they can report it to the moderation team with the new option.

Just like reporting messages, status updates will be forwarded to the company for further moderation so they can determine whether there are violations.

But launching Livemint, Tuesday, December 27, this new feature has not been officially launched for all users. Releases are currently in beta for WhatsApp desktop.

It should be noted, this feature won't damage end-to-end encryption. Even if no one, even WhatsApp and Meta can view user messaging content and listen to their personal calls, it's important for companies to present report options in order to keep platforms and users safe.
