WhatsApp may soon allow users to report status updates
Meta-owned messaging platform WhatsApp is reportedly working on a new feature that will provide users the ability to report status updates on desktop beta.
The new feature will allow users to report a status update right within a new menu in the status section, reports WABetaInfo.
“When you report a contact, the last 5 messages in the conversation are forwarded to WhatsApp, but you can also choose to report specific messages,” said the report.

In order to keep the platform safe for all users, WhatsApp plans to bring an option that lets you quickly report a status update to a future update of the app.https://t.co/McG8jz68pz

Reportedly, if any user finds a suspicious status update that violates the Terms of Service, users will have the option to report it to the team.
However, this feature does not break end-to-end encryption. Nobody, not even WhatsApp and Meta, can see the content of users’ messages and listen to their private calls, but it is important for the company to bring a report option to keep the platform and users safe.
The report also suggests that the feature is currently under development and would soon be rolled out on WhatsApp Desktop beta.
