WhatsApp rolls out new interactive ‘Q&A stickers’ on status and Channels

WhatsApp has rolled out a new interactive feature that lets users post question stickers, also known as Q&A or status stickers, within “Status” updates and “Channels.”

The new feature allows viewers to respond directly without opening a separate chat.

Rollout

According to WABetaInfo, the update is currently rolling out gradually across Android, iOS and desktop versions of WhatsApp.

The update marks a shift toward more two-way engagement on the messaging platform, which has traditionally focused on private conversations, according to The Eastleigh Voice.

New feature

The feature works within the existing Status function, located under the Updates tab.

Users can write a question, place the sticker on a photo or video, and share it to their status. Audience members can then type responses directly through the sticker interface.

WhatsApp says the feature builds on recent additions that aim to make Status more dynamic. It follows earlier tools such as polls, music, and layout features that encourage user participation.

Privacy

A key aspect of the new tool is privacy.

If you are worried about personal details being shared, WhatsApp has assured users that if they collects responses and choose to share any of them publicly as a new status, the responders’ names and profile details are not included.

The Meta owned platform said this ensures that responses remain anonymous to the audience, even when shared.

Try it out

To add a question sticker, users tap Updates, choose Music, Layout, Camera, or select a photo or video from their gallery.

After that, tap the sticker icon, choose the Question option, then write and position the question.

Responses are delivered through notifications or can be accessed by opening the Activity section of the status.

Users can reply privately to individuals who responded.

WhatsApp has advised users to update to the latest version to access the feature as it becomes available.
