How to report or mute statuses on WhatsApp

WhatsApp will allow users to access the flag and silence function of posts published in the Status section of the platform in a new actualization Since application of Meta. The new functionality will only be the applicable system for the mobile phones who have the operating system android.

Currently, the only content on the platform of Meta who may be reported for breaking the Community Rules or exhibiting inappropriate behavior within the application is the one that can be sent via the conversation private, such as texts, photos and videos. Statuses can only be disabled in the app version, so reporting them will be an additional way to protect users from potential abuse.

Accessing this feature will be no different than other ways of interacting with the content offered in this section. To do this, you just need to enter the application of WhatsApp then click the States tab. After viewing everything that has been posted by a contact, you can tap on the three-dot button on the top right corner of the screen while the status is reading and after opening the additional menu, you can tap the Report option.

Once this option is used in the content published by a contact, the internal procedure in WhatsApp is similar to what you have in cases where text and images are involved: the message is sent to Meta for reasons of moderation and it will be evaluated automatically. If it is proven that you have violated the Terms of usethe account responsible for publication will be suspended.

Although the status report allows content to be sent to WhatsAppthis function does not affect the function of crypt which was also enabled for this post type. The platform will not be able to see or listen to text or audio messages other than the content which was reported for analysis.

The new feature of WhatsApp has already started its process of launch and in the next few days or weeks it might become available for compatible platform versions Meta.

In addition to the status report button on the application, users may start seeing that an extra button has appeared in their notifications. To the already known “Reply” and “Mark as read” has been added”mute”, which allows you to temporarily or permanently remove notifications from a particular conversation.

This function is activated by default and you only have to press the new button to enter the application of WhatsApp and select one of the mute options you have. These can be: eight hours, a week or always.

Logging in to the app in this case is necessary to avoid accidentally touching the new button and inadvertently cutting off conversations.

weeks ago, WhatsApp also released an update that allows you to post voice statuses, so the new reporting feature would also include this new content in its moderation range. To create a post like this, users will need to enter the Create Status section and press the voice recording button.

Once the ideal audio is established, all you have to do is press the publish button and it will be visible to the contacts of the application.
