In its latest WhatsApp feature update for Android users, the platform is reportedly testing to make status updates more engaging. WhatsApp’s upcoming feature is expected to make the app even more interactive.

Earlier, WhatsApp was working on a feature that would allow users to edit sticker photos for status updates.

The feature can enhance personalisation and enable users to creatively express themselves by adding additional images on top of their photos or videos. Currently, some beta testers have the opportunity to explore the feature, experimenting with the ability to add sticker photos to the content they share via status updates. Sticker photos are resizable and movable, which will allow users with creative freedom in arranging them. They can be enlarged or shrink to fit the composition of status update. WhatsApp users can layer images when sharing multiple moments in a single update.
