The channels have arrived on WhatsApp, taking over the old States tab, renamed “News”. Since then, the States have shared the spotlight with the channels and are displayed on a horizontal lineunless you stop following all channels.
Now, as we discovered a few months ago, WhatsApp has a new place to see all our friends’ statusesseparated from the channels and with a filter similar to the one that the application will introduce at some point in our chats.
“All States” is coming
Previously, WhatsApp statuses had their own tab and were displayed in a vertical list, but since the arrival of channels, their presence is limited. to a horizontal line at the top of the window, the bottom being monopolized by updates from the channels to which we subscribe.
The only way to return to the previous list was to not use channels, but now WhatsApp offers us an additional method: See all states
If you have it active you will find See all states in the menu ⋮ at the top of the tab News (be careful, because there is another menu ⋮ just below, and it does not appear there). In this window you will see the statuses again in list form
Not only that, but as a gift you have access to a series of filters: All, recent, seen and muted. Clicking on each one will filter the displayed statuses that meet this condition, which is useful if you have many contacts on WhatsApp who use the status function.
