WhatsApp testing Facebook style colored text status feature
WhatsApp testing Facebook style colored text status feature
Last year social networking giant Facebook added colored text statuses feature on its Android app, that allowed users to set their status with a blend of colorful background, font and emoji.
Now the same feature is being tested on WhatsApp in the beta version 2.17.291 for the Android platform. This new feature was first spotted by Android Police, and reports that the feature is a server-side test, so only a select users are seeing it now.
Users will now see a floating pen icon in the status tab at the bottom of the screen, right above the camera icon. Clicking on the pen icon, brings up the option to type a status, select font, add emoji and background color. When done, users have to hit the green arrow key to set the status, and your contacts will see the published status.
The Facebook-like color text status feature should roll out to all users soon.
WhatsApp recently announced that it has a total of 1.3 billion monthly active users, and over 250 million daily users on the Status feature. WhatsApp Status was introduced back in Feburary, and is a clone of Snapchats Stories.

Update Facebook New Feature Now Can Change Text Status With Coloured Background 2017
Update Facebook New Feature Now Can Change Text Status With Coloured Background 2017
The feature lets users select a color that appears behind their text status in place of the normally-white background. Several of the color options offer an Instagram logo-style color gradient, which makes them more stylish and modern than boring flat colors.
Sent to TechCrunch by reader Hoan Do over the weekend, Facebook confirms this feature is in testing. It appears that it�s only testing in certain regions abroad, not in the US. Users without access to the test don�t see the colors if they look at the post, but that would likely change to everyone being able to see the colors if Facebook rolls it out more widely.
[Update: Facebook has now shared more details and a statement about the new feature. Colored status backgrounds are rolling out globally over the next few days. Only Android users will be able to create them, but everyone on iOS, Android, and the web will be able to see them in the News Feed.
A spokesperson writes �We�re rolling out a change to help people make their text posts more visual. Starting today, people can update the background color of their text-only posts on Android.�]
Adding spice to status updates could help Facebook boost �original sharing� of unique personal content, as opposed to reshaping of news articles and viral videos.
In April, The Information reported that Facebook was experiencing a decline in original, personal sharing. Apparently �original content broadcasting� was down 21% year over year as of mid-2015, and original broadcast sharing was down 15% year-over-year as of April.
Facebook has tried to downplay that claim in the past, saying original content sharing was healthy. But VP of News Feed Adam Mosseri admitted on stage at TechCrunch Disrupt SF in September that sharing of professional publisher content has grown at a faster rate than original sharing, making the latter a smaller percentage of total content. That may have played into Facebook prioritizing friends and family instead of publishers in an update from September, which could restore a balance with more original content in the feed.
Facebook seemed to already be encouraging text status updates with a �big text� feature that shows words in a larger font if your status is short, thereby making it more attention-grabbing. Both of these features could be seen as trying to steal thunder from Twitter, which is the most ubiquitous text-focused social network, though one dwarfed in size by Facebook.
When Facebook launched the News Feed, it was all about text. Some might remember the word �is� being automatically applied after your name so every update was actually about what you were doing, like: �Josh Constine is��
Yet CEO Mark Zuckerberg has said repeatedly that he sees rich media like video, 360, and VR as the future of sharing on Facebook. But there will always be some things best expressed with some simple words. Colored backgrounds make sure a spontaneous exclamation or a bit of poetry won�t get lost in the increasingly flashy feed.
