WhatsApp Status: A Timeless Mashup of AIM and Instagram

With the new updates to WhatsApp Status, users can reminisce about their AIM experiences as the platform weaves together elements of both AIM away messages and Instagram Stories. You will soon have access to a variety of new features that turn your status updates into dynamic storytelling tools, providing a fun way to share moments with friends and family.

The rollout of these features is taking place now, but be patient if you don’t see them immediately; the updates may take weeks to reach all users. As someone in the U. S., I’ve already been utilizing them with my latest app update!

Step-by-Step to Create WhatsApp Status Collages

Since Meta connects WhatsApp and Instagram, creating stunning photo collages has never been easier! You can include up to six photos to share snippets of your day or your current adventures. This transforms a simple status into a visual narrative that captivates your audience.

Begin by tapping Updates within WhatsApp, then select Add Status.
Next, tap Layout at the top of your screen, and choose the images you wish to showcase. Remember, while six is the maximum, feel free to select fewer as needed.
Afterward, choose a layout style from the six options available. Move and zoom each photo within its frame as desired.
Complete the process by tapping Done to post your stunning collage!

Customize Your Status with Photo Stickers

Elevate your status updates further by adding unique photo stickers! This aspect of WhatsApp not only enhances visual appeal but also adds a touch of fun to your narrative. Creating stickers is a straightforward process:

Tap Updates -> Add Status, and select a primary photo to set as your background.
To initiate the sticker creation, select the Sticker icon, followed by Photo, adding in another image of your choice.
Once you have your sticker, customize its shape by selecting from various options at the bottom, positioning it over your main image as desired.
Feel free to layer multiple stickers for added flair!
