WhatsApp statuses came back in 2018. It’s about showing and teaching other users of the platform a feeling, a link to a website, something we’re doing at that time and in general almost everything what comes to mind. And all this with the advantage of to be able to know who saw them and at what time.
In what might look like a neighborhood patio where you can see what everyone has, WhatsApp statuses let you share photos, videos, or texts and let your friends see them. Now we will explain how can you see who viewed them at any time and thus get an idea of which friend is the most “curious”.
The most curious contact is…
WhatsApp States these are kind of instagram stories. We can post content of almost any type. By default, when you associate WhatsApp with a number, all you see is a phrase: “Hello! I use WhatsApp” and a profile picture…but there’s more.
To post a “Status” we have a specific tab Located in the central area next to the “Cats”. But before continuing, we will explain how to limit who can or cannot see our states by configuring privacy.
You can adjust the confidentiality of the states in which “Settings” whatsapp and in “Privacy”. By default, all your contacts will be able to see all the statuses you post. There are also three options that limit access to your statuses:
- my contacts: Only people you have in your WhatsApp contacts can see the statuses you post
- My contacts except: This option gives permission to see your statuses to all your contacts, but you can choose specific contacts who will not be able to see them.
- Just share with: This is the most restrictive option, as it means that only specific people you choose will have permission to view your statuses and no one else.
Once you have configured who can see your states Now it’s time to see who saw it. You will see who has seen them and here the access appears the first time. If they see them multiple times, it won’t be reflected.
To see who has viewed your status, simply access it from the tab “States”. Basically you will see the icon of an eye with a number What does he do as a student? The number is the number of people who viewed that status and if you click on it, a list appears with the number of people who viewed it and the time they accessed it. If you have several states you can see, in each of them, who saw each status and corresponding time.
You can also access a quick summary if, In the States tab, press the “…” button. This way all the statuses that you have published in the last 24 hours are displayed and how many people have seen each of them, although it does not show the details of which contacts are and to access them you will have to click on state by state.
The states they are only visible to the people you have in your contactsso that they appear with the name you saved in the calendar.
