The feature's name?
Updates to Status Status?
Enabled \sCompatibility?
Update 2.2232.6.70 for WhatsApp beta on Windows is designated as compatible.
Despite installing this update, I can't find the option for a status update. Why? When they open WhatsApp after the upgrade, some users might not be able to see the status update button. In this situation, kindly close and reopen the application.
We appreciate the testing and reporting from AnonymousWP, Traiti, Hypogriff, rubiokarim, ALumia, and Bmswad1!

What's new in WhatsApp beta for Android 2.22.18.13? In order to restore messages accidentally erased for you, WhatsApp is providing an undo feature!
By incorporating features from the other WhatsApp Desktop app, WhatsApp continues to work on enhancing the native Windows software. The team has just updated the Microsoft Store to enable beta testers to view status updates, in particular.
This screenshot demonstrates the existence of a button within the chat list header that leads to a list of all status updates. Since this is a beta version, a few status update-related features are still missing. For instance, you cannot reply to other people's status updates or create a new one. Since we now know how the native beta app's development is progressing, we may anticipate a future release that will add new functionality to status updates.
If the status update button does not appear after updating the app to the most recent 2.2232.6.70 beta build, please close the app and reopen it. This should force the status shortcut to appear. Please allow at least 24 hours to pass if it still doesn't appear.
Additionally, WhatsApp is now giving the UWP app the Electron bundle identifier to enable the Microsoft Store to automatically replace WhatsApp Desktop with the WhatsApp native version for Windows. As already mentioned by ALumia Italia today, thanks to this replacement, all users of WhatsApp Desktop will gradually migrate to the new WhatsApp for Windows native app.
All beta users who download the most recent build of WhatsApp for Windows from the Microsoft Store today can view status updates.
