WhatsApp is constantly improving with regular updates. Recent reports indicate that WhatsApp is working on a new interface for status updates to give text-based updates a dedicated space. WhatsApp is also improving video playback on the platform, allowing users to rewind or fast forward.

Folks over at WABetaInfo have spotted a new status update page on WhatsApp beta for Android version 2.24.7.16. The status editor now shows Text, Video, and Photo options at the bottom of the screen, allowing users to quickly choose what type of update they want to share with others.

Currently, the status update page only shows video and photo options, while the text option must be selected by tapping the pencil icon in the bottom right corner. With a dedicated text option on the same page as other forms of status updates, sharing text-based status updates becomes faster than ever.

There are already many new WhatsApp features on the way, such as the ability to mention contacts in your status, but new updates are constantly being worked on. Another major feature that will be available to users soon is the ability to search ten seconds forward or backward in a video.
