This section is available when a person taps on your profile picture in a chat and sees what you have shared. Now, the messaging app is giving you the choice to add emojis to these statuses and also enhance the message you want people to know, and for how long. <\/span><\/p>\n<p id=\"1\" class=\"story_para_1\"><span style=\"font-weight:400\">This sounds like another big change to the app with the Meta element in play, and making it similar to Instagram in more than one way.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p id=\"2\" class=\"story_para_2\"><span style=\"font-weight:400\"><strong>WhatsApp \u2018About Me\u2019 Changes: What You Get<\/strong>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p id=\"3\" class=\"story_para_3\"><span style=\"font-weight:400\">The new look About Me on WhatsApp comes with a timer so that you can share messages for an hour, for a day or even a week. You also have the option to add a status with emojis. These messages can be kept private by making them visible to your contacts or everyone, based on what you like doing. The new options can be used by doing this:\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<ul class=\"listOncontentArticleUL\">\n<li><span style=\"font-weight:400\">Tap on profile photo on the top-right<\/span><\/li>\n<li>Click on the photo<\/li>\n<li>Tap on About<\/li>\n<li>Add a new status with the duration<\/li>\n<li>Click on enter (check box) and let everyone see the new status<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p id=\"5\" class=\"story_para_5\"><span style=\"font-weight:400\">The new About option has been reintroduced this month and WhatsApp mobile users are gradually getting the new feature from this week onwards.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p id=\"6\" class=\"story_para_6\"><span style=\"font-weight:400\">WhatsApp has also been in the news for other worrying reasons this month. WhatsApp users have been warned about the major security risk that affects billions of users relying on the messaging app to send chats, images and more. The alert from the security agency of the Indian government mentions that if hackers exploit the issues they can bypass the device security to cause havoc.<\/span><\/p>\n<p id=\"7\" class=\"story_para_7\"><span style=\"font-weight:400\">WhatsApp is popular and used by many across the globe but it also makes it extremely appealing to bad actors who are waiting to pounce on a serious vulnerability with the platform. The Indian Computer Emergency Response Team or CERT-In has been alerted about such a threat and is warning everyone about its risks. <\/span><\/p>\n<div class=\"jsx-95088aad1b3c53cd atawrap\">\n<div class=\"jsx-95088aad1b3c53cd atadetailwrp\">\n<div class=\"jsx-95088aad1b3c53cd ataname\"><span class=\"jsx-95088aad1b3c53cd atthumb\"><\/p>\n<figure class=\"jsx-95088aad1b3c53cd\"><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"S Aadeetya\" title=\"S Aadeetya\" src=\"https:\/\/images.news18.com\/ibnlive\/uploads\/2023\/11\/aadeetya-3-2023-11-9de48efa65a9ed8ed13a8932cadb6d5a.jpg?impolicy=website&amp;width=60&amp;height=60\" class=\"jsx-95088aad1b3c53cd\"\/><\/figure>\n<p><\/span><\/p>\n<div class=\"jsx-95088aad1b3c53cd attitle\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.news18.com\/byline\/s-aadeetya-21044.html\" class=\"jsx-95088aad1b3c53cd atamail\">S Aadeetya<\/a><\/p>\n<p>S Aadeetya, Special Correspondent at News18 Tech, accidentally got into journalism 10 years ago, and since then, has been part of established media houses covering the latest trends in technology and helping fr&#8230;<span class=\"jsx-95088aad1b3c53cd aurpdebtn\">Read More<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>S Aadeetya, Special Correspondent at News18 Tech, accidentally got into journalism 10 years ago, and since then, has been part of established media houses covering the latest trends in technology and helping fr&#8230;<!-- --> <span class=\"jsx-95088aad1b3c53cd aurpdebtn\">Read More<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"jsx-77153e997a009dd0 jsx-3932373750 atbtlink Location\"><span>Location :<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>Delhi, India, India<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"jsx-77153e997a009dd0 jsx-3932373750 atbtlink fp\"><span>First Published:<\/span><\/p>\n<div class=\"rs\">\n<p>November 24, 2025, 16:14 IST<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"jsx-77153e997a009dd0 jsx-3932373750 brdcrmb\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.news18.com\/\">News<\/a>  <a href=\"https:\/\/www.news18.com\/tech\/\">tech<\/a>  <span class=\"brdout\"> WhatsApp Brings New Update For Your \u2018About Me\u2019 Feature: What It Means<\/span><\/div>\n<div id=\"coral-wrap\" class=\"jsx-ba4d8f086a12294f \">\n<div class=\"jsx-ba4d8f086a12294f coral-cont\">\n<div class=\"jsx-ba4d8f086a12294f coltoptxt\">Disclaimer: Comments reflect users\u2019 views, not News18\u2019s.
