WhatsApp is rolling out a fresh feature that feels eerily familiar to instagram Notes. Here’s everything you need to know.

1️⃣ Say hello Again to the 'About' Feature

· whatsapp has revived its 'About' section, but with a twist.

· Users can now post temporary text updates visible to their contacts, making communication more lively and instant.

2️⃣ Updates That Disappear Automatically

· Just like instagram Stories, these updates vanish after 24 hours by default.

· No need to worry about old updates cluttering your profile or chat list.

3️⃣ Where Your Updates Appear

· Your friends will see the updates above the chat list.

· They can also view them in your profile, making it easy for contacts to catch up instantly.

4️⃣ Privacy Control at Your Fingertips

· You decide who sees your updates.

· Options include all contacts, selected contacts, or excluding certain contacts, giving you full control.

5️⃣ How to Use This Feature

1. Open whatsapp and go to your Profile → About.

2. Type your temporary message or update.

3. Set visibility preferences.

4. Hit Save, and your update will appear for 24 hours.

6️⃣ Why This Matters

· Makes quick sharing of thoughts, moods, or short messages easier than sending individual texts.

· Keeps whatsapp engaging and dynamic, especially for people who enjoy micro-updates like instagram Notes.

✅ Bottom Line

This feature blends whatsapp messaging with social-style updates, giving users a fun, ephemeral way to communicate daily thoughts without sending multiple messages.
