WhatsApp has always been in the limelight for constantly rolling out new features to refine its user experience. The Meta-owned company is now planning to allow users to view new status updates straight from their chat list just like Instagram. While this feature is currently being tested with selective beta users, it might hit your devices in the coming days. With that being said, let’s look at how you can view WhatsApp status from the chat list, without waiting for the feature. Furthermore, you can learn how to hide WhatsApp status from specific contacts.
How to View WhatsApp Status from Chat List
Similar to Instagram stories, the upcoming WhatsApp update will soon allow you to view status from your chat list. This would make the overall experience snappier by reducing the time spent navigating to the status tab. So, without further ado, let’s have a detailed look at the steps involved in viewing WhatsApp status updates on your device.
View WhatsApp Status From Chat List
The upcoming feature is majorly inspired by Instagram where you can view anyone’s status straight from your chat list by tapping on their respective profile icon. The beta users have reported the presence of a green status ring (on Android) and a blue status ring (on iOS) indicating a new status upload from your contact. You can tap on it directly to view the associated status update. While the feature is still under development, you can experience it by enrolling in the beta version of WhatsApp for iOS.
Use Facebook Messenger to View WhatsApp Status

1. For this method to work, it is mandatory that the user whose WhatsApp status you wish to view must have shared it as a Facebook story using the ‘Share to Facebook feature’ on WhatsApp.
2. Now, launch the Facebook Messenger app on your phone and tap on the profile icon to view the WhatsApp status.
