Before the end of last year, Facebook began rolling out colorful statuses on its Android app that enabled users to compose their status update with a colorful background, text style, and emoji blend. Presently, a similar feature has been spotted on WhatsApp also, and keeping in mind that as of now it's in beta, it is expected to touch base for all users soon.


Android Police was first tipped about this feature, and it is appearing in Android beta version 2.17.291. The report expresses that despite the fact that you may be on this most recent version on the WhatsApp Android beta app, it is conceivable that you may not see this feature. It is apparently a server side change from WhatsApp's end, so just select users are seeing it now even in beta. We can't see it either. Regardless, couple of users are presently noticing a floating pen symbol in the Status tab at the base of the screen, appropriate over the camera symbol. Tapping on the pen symbol raises the option to input a status, pick a textual style, emoji, also, the background color too.
