WhatsApp, the world's most popular messaging app, continues to introduce updates. Now, a new report says that WhatsApp is working on a new feature that will notify users when selected contacts post new status updates. That is, the feature that will notify you about the status updates of your favorite contacts is coming soon, reports tracker WaBetaInfo. Reports say that the WhatsApp Beta 2.24.22.21 update for Android has also included a notification feature for status updates.

Meanwhile, the new feature will also allow users to directly choose whether or not to receive notifications whenever a particular contact posts a new status update. Users can also manage these notifications directly from the status update window using a special option for alerts for the contact they are viewing. If this feature is enabled for a particular contact, WhatsApp will send a real-time notification whenever that person updates their status.

This notification sent by WhatsApp will include the contact's name and profile picture. This will help users easily identify who posted new content without opening the app. If users decide at any point that they don't want to receive notifications from a particular contact, they can return to the same interface and disable them by tapping the Mute Notifications option.
