WhatsApp Spotted Working on Status Reply Indicator, Ability to Let Businesses Set Up Cover Photos on Desktop h1b6s

WhatsApp is found to be working on a status reply indicator that s will see when they receive replies to their status updates. The feature is said to be currently under development and not yet available even to beta testers, though it is likely to be available to s on Android and iOS as well as desktop in the future. In addition to the status reply indicator, WhatsApp has been spotted bringing the ability to set up a cover photo when using the instant messaging app on a desktop.

According to a WhatsApp beta tracker WABetaInfo, WhatsApp is developing the status reply indicator to make it easier for s to know when their s have responded to a recent status update. The indicator helps distinguish a status reply from general message replies directly on the Chats screen.

WABetaInfo has shared a screenshot to suggest how the indicator will appear. The screenshot is said to have taken from a recent WhatsApp Desktop beta version, though the feature is expected to be available to beta testers on iOS in the coming future.

Alongside the status reply indicator, WhatsApp has been spotted introducing the ability to let business s add cover photos to their company's profile when using WhatsApp Desktop.

WABetaInfo, in a separate report, WhatsApp for Desktop beta. The feature would allow businesses to have a custom cover photo — just like how Facebook lets s have a different cover on their profiles and pages on the platform.
