Step 1: Open WhatsApp
First, you need to open the WhatsApp application on your smartphone. Look for the green icon with a white phone receiver. Tap on it to launch the app.
Step 2: Go to the Status Tab
Once you’re in the WhatsApp app, you’ll notice a series of tabs at the bottom of the screen. Look for the one labeled “Status” and tap on it. It will usually be the second tab from the left.
Step 3: Create a New Status
On the Status tab, you will see a large “+” icon at the bottom of the screen. Tap on it to create a new status. This will open your smartphone’s camera interface, allowing you to take a photo or video to share as your status.
Step 4: Take a Photo or Record a Video
Once you’re in the camera interface, you can either take a photo by tapping the shutter button or record a video by holding down the shutter button. WhatsApp allows you to capture both still images and videos up to 30 seconds in length for your status.
Step 5: Edit Your Status
After capturing a photo or video, WhatsApp provides you with editing tools to enhance your status. You can add captions, draw on the image or video, apply filters, and even add emojis. Take your time to customize your status to make it unique and engaging.
Step 6: Share Your Status
Once you are satisfied with your edited status, tap on the “Send” button located at the bottom right corner of the screen. This will share your status with all your contacts who have you added as a friend on WhatsApp. Alternatively, you can choose specific contacts to share your status with by tapping on the “Privacy” button before sending.
Step 7: View Your Status
Your status will now be visible to your contacts under the Status tab. You can also view the total number of views your status receives along with the identities of those who have viewed it. Your status will automatically disappear after 24 hours, but you can always delete it manually if you want to remove it sooner.
