New Delhi: Media-owned messaging platform, WhatsApp is said to be working on a new feature that will provide users with the ability to flag status updates on the desktop beta. The new feature will allow users to report a status update directly within a new listing in the Status section, WABetaInfo Reports.
If users see any suspicious status update that may violate the Terms of Service, they will be able to report this to the moderation team using the new option. Just like the reporting letters, the status update will be forwarded to the company for moderation reasons so they can see if there is a violation or not. (ALSO READ: BUMPER RETURN BUSINESS IDEA!

In order to keep the platform safe for all users, WhatsApp plans to bring an option that allows you to quickly report a status update for a future update of the app.https://t.co/McG8jz68pzWABetaInfo (WABetaInfo) December 24, 2022
However, this feature does not break the end-to-end encryption. No one, not even WhatsApp and Meta, can see the content of users’ messages and listen to their private calls, but it is important for the company to bring the reporting option to maintain the safety of the platform and users.
