WhatsApp team has released a new update for its Beta App on Windows Phone and Windows 10 Mobile. The app has been bumped to new version 2.17.78.0. The update does not bring the new “Status” feature to the Windows Phone.

The update for the app comes without any changelog but with a new Hidden feature which will be enabled along with the “Status” Feature. The team has pushed out a new feature for the “Status Tab”. Below is the changelog with Screenshot.

Changelog:

  • Opening Privacy Settings from the “Status” tab (Hidden), WA will directly open Status Privacy Settings (before it opened all settings).(Screenshot Below)
  • Bug fixes and improvements.

The WhatsApp team is working very hard in improving the application for Windows Phone. The Privacy Settings feature is currently Hidden and should be available to all users once the “Status” feature is rolled out for Indian Users. Hope the feature will be available to all users by 24th February, the 8th anniversary of WhatsApp.
