Last month, it was reported that WhatsApp is working on major design changes to the status updates tray. As per a report in WA Beta Info, WhatsApp is exploring new tools to enhance users' experience with status updates, as revealed in the latest WhatsApp beta for Android 2.24.7.16 update, now available on the Google Play Store. According to a screenshot shared by the portal, WhatsApp is reportedly designing a new composer for status updates, enabling users to switch amongst various media formats for sharing.
