WhatsApp Rolling Out Coloured Test Status Feature

Whatsapp now rolling out Colour status to its Android App as it was lately last year released to Facebook. The new feature is said to be currently in Whatsapp beta version at the moment and it will be made available to all users very soon.

The Whatsapp colour Status was first tipped by Android Police, and it is showing up in Android beta version 2.17.291. The report states that even though you might be on this latest version on the WhatsApp Android beta app, it is possible that you may not see this feature. It is presumably a server side switch from WhatsApp's end, so only select users are seeing it now even in beta.

We can't see it either. In any case, few users are now seeing a floating pen icon in the Status tab at the bottom of the screen, right above the camera icon. Clicking on the pen icon brings up the option to type a status, choose a font, emoji, and the background colour as well.

When you're done writing the status and making the necessary changes, you can then hit the green arrow key to send the text status, just like how you send media content now. The status will then be published on WhatsApp for all your contacts to see.
