WhatsApp is preparing various improvements for the Status updates feature. Finally, WhatsApp is working on a redesigned user interface with vertical thumbnails for Status updates, introducing a sorting system, with the Android Beta release. It turns out that It’s out.
WABetaInfoAccording to , the company will prioritize and re-order updates from certain people based on various factors with the Status ranking system, ensuring that these people appear first in the list. It is designed to function .
WhatsApp sorts Status updates by people you frequently contact, your pinned chats, and people you’ve last messaged. Additionally, priority is given to Status updates that are about to expire. The purpose of this feature is described as finding out which people have the highest level of interaction, attention, closeness and relevance and reordering the updates accordingly.
WABetaInfo explains that all the math WhatsApp does for its ranking system is based on information stored locally on the device, allowing the system to run autonomously on each user’s device without external data transmission. He also adds that he is used to it. In this sense, the feature will be reset every time WhatsApp is reinstalled on the device. Â It is also stated that due to the new ranking system, users may not be able to see the timestamp of status updates in the list.
WhatsApp is expected to roll out the Status sorting feature to more beta users in the coming weeks.
