WhatsApp allows us to configure a personalized state in which we can indicate what we want. For example, the states are useful to inform our contacts when we can not talk (either because we are sleeping, at work or any other possibility) or from any other state in a similar way to how the personalized states of the now defunct MSN Messenger worked. .
To access the status window, simply open the WhatsApp options menu and select the "status" entry.
WhatsApp comes by default with a list of states such as "Available", "Busy", "In school", "At work", etc. We can choose if we want to establish one of the predefined states simply by scrolling the list and clicking on the one we want or choosing a customized state that we can configure ourselves.
The state that we have currently selected will be reflected in the "My current status" section at the top. To edit it as we have said we will select one of those that appear in the list or click on the pencil icon and write what we want.
The states that we add manually will also be reflected in the lower list of states so that we can easily recover it if we change it.
Once the status has changed, it will be visible to all users. Users looking for us in their contact list will see an appearance similar to the following.
The first line indicates the number that we have saved in the agenda and the second line indicates the phrase of our contact. In the same way that we see our contacts like this, they will see us in their WhatsApp contact lists in a similar way with our photo, our name and our state.
The states, photos and usernames make WhatsApp a more colorful, social and simple to identify application.
