WhatsApp replaced the “Status” section with the new “Updates” tab after rolling out the Channels feature globally. The Updates tab includes both status from other users in the contact list as well as the Channels that users have joined or the ones that are recommended for them. The Meta-owned popular instant messaging app has rolled out a new update through the Google Play Beta Program. The update will be available only for Android beta testers.
Concurring to a report! The most recent upgrade brings a unused look include for the Overhauls tab. This alternative will offer assistance clients to hunt for status updates as well as channels. Be that as it may, the look bar within the Overhauls app is as of now restricted to a modest bunch of beta analyzers. WhatsApp too hasn’t affirmed when this highlight will be broadly accessible for all clients. The highlight is likely to roll out for more clients over the coming days.
How Updates tab search will work
WhatsApp has been working on adding the search bar to the Updates tab since last month. The report shares a screenshot to show how the search feature will look inside the Updates tab. The search bar is expected to be available within the top app bar. With this feature, users will be able to search for status updates, followed channels, and even other verified channels.
If users want to discover if this feature is available to their account, the report suggests closing the app twice after updating it from the Google Play Store. The report claims that this action might force the search button to appear within the Updates tab.
