WhatsApp's New 'Close Friends' Feature: Share Status Updates More Personally

• WhatsApp is developing a 'Close Friends' option for status updates, allowing users to share content with a select group.
• This feature aims to make sharing more personal and less stressful, addressing concerns about sharing with all contacts.
• Users can create and manage a 'Close Friends' list, choosing to share status updates exclusively with this group.
• The list is flexible, allowing additions or removals, though changes won't affect already viewed statuses.
• Updates shared with 'Close Friends' may have a distinct visual marker, like a different colored ring around the profile photo.
