However, it will be rolled out to more people over the coming weeks.

The improved interface addresses an issue with the chat attachment sheet.

WhatsApp will create a dedicated layout for the channel update to provide clarity that the content posted on Status originates from a channel.

Additionally, if you want to check if this feature is already available for your account, simply share a channel update to your status. The quickest way to do this is by forwarding a channel update.

Furthermore, WhatsApp has recently introduced another entry point within the status subtitle, allowing users to promptly access and view the content from the associated channel.

Overall, these new features are designed to make the WhatsApp user experience more enjoyable and interactive.

According to WABetaInfo, "the updated interface for sharing channel updates to Status is a clear manifestation of the platform’s commitment to enhancing the user experience."

The refreshed interface offers an intuitive layout, making it easier for users to interact and access shared channel updates.
