WhatsApp new update : WhatsApp is testing a new feature that allows users to save incomplete Status updates and finish them later. According to WABetaInfo, which follows WhatsApp changes, the feature is currently available to a small group of beta testers.
The change takes WhatsApp Status closer to Instagram-style posting, which allows users to improve on content before publishing it.
WhatsApp new update : What is WhatsApp’s new Status Draft feature?
The new functionality allows users to store a Status update as a draft if they are unable to complete it all at once.
- WABetaInfo says users can save:
- Text-based status updates
- Photos and edits
- Stickers and Drawings
- Partially written captions
If a user begins creating a Status but departs the editor, WhatsApp now provides the option to save the update rather than trash it. This implies that users can return later and resume editing from where they left off.

How the feature works within WhatsApp.
WhatsApp has included a save option at the top of the Status Editor. Tapping this button securely archives the draft, allowing users to access it later. If a user uses the back button while editing, WhatsApp may display a prompt asking if they want to
- Discard the status or
- Save it as a draft, as Instagram currently asks for.
- This decreases the likelihood of losing work, particularly while switching apps or being distracted.
Update for users.
Previously, users who wished to save an updated image or a partially written Status had to email it to themselves over chat. The new functionality eliminates the unnecessary step. It is particularly effective for:

- Users who plan their status posts.
- People who get interrupted mid-edit
- Creators seeking more control before posting
- WhatsApp just added draft labels to unsent chat messages, making it simpler to identify unfinished chats.
- The Status draft feature is based on the same approach.
When will the functionality become available to everyone?
Currently, the Status draft option is not available to all users. WhatsApp is still testing it on various devices and accounts. According to WABetaInfo, a wider rollout is planned in the coming weeks as performance and stability improve.
WhatsApp has not announced an official release date.
