E be like say WhatsApp don carry better gist come your way as dem don start beta test for new feature wey go allow people to share your status updates. Yes o! If you don ever dey wonder how you fit make your friends see your shining moments without all that wahala, this one go sweet you.
So, wetin dey happen be say dis feature don dey available for the beta version of WhatsApp wey dey run for Android. E mean say as you dey read this, e fit don dey get ready to drop for everybody wey no need beta wahala. But make you no chop your fingers, e go still take small time before e reach your side, sha.
The most important part be say this sharing no go dey active by default. Meaning say if you wan give dem permission, na you go turn am on when you dey create your status. So if na you wan make your status dey trend like pounded yam on a Sunday, you go need to open that door.
When your padi share your status, you go knack you notification, so you go sabi sey your status don waka far. But here be the gist, those wey dey view the shared status no go sabi say na you be the original creator. (E be like magic, abi na juju? 😂) This one na to protect your privacy, so no need to fear say your wahala go come out for public eye.
But hear this – if person wey don already share your status now decide to share am again, you no go get any notification. Na only the first person wey share am go sabi say dem don carry your status go show another person. (Heaven knows the things wey fit cause wahala for WhatsApp!)
Up till now, only people wey dey tagged directly for your status fit share am, but now, with this new feature, any of your contacts fit share your status as long as you give them the go-ahead. Na serious visibility matter be this, if na wetin you dey find.
But make I give you small warning – if you dey post something wey fit hot your matter, e good make you think well before you share. We all sabi say some topics fit cause serious gbege. (Tufia! No want any small small drama for group chat o!)
By the way, if you get iPhone 5s, 6 or 6 Plus, make you sharpen your mind because WhatsApp don yan say from June 1, those phones no go fit carry the app again. How far now, no let your phone dey out of date, make e dey current!
As we dey wait for this feature to land for everybody, make we dey harness the magic wey WhatsApp dey bring to the table. Keep your notifications on, and don’t forget to turn on the sharing mode if you wan make your business go viral!
