WhatsApp is rolling out a feature to message contacts from status updates!
As per WABetaInfo, this new feature will allow some beta users to quickly start a chat with a contact who has viewed their status update.
A shortcut appears in the viewer's list, enabling users to open the chat window directly with a single tap.
Previously WhatsApp users had to exit the status update screen, search for a contact in their chat list and manually open the chat to message someone who viewed their status.
The new shortcut eliminates these extra steps by allowing users to open a chat directly from the status viewers list.

In addition to this, WhatsApp is also working on a feature to organize message replies into threaded conversations.
The feature will help keep conversations structured by linking replies directly to the original message.
