How to create WhatsApp text states on iPhone

You may not have known, but there is now a new type of WhatsApp Status. Yes, those stories that remain only for 24 hours and that everyone seems determined to share with all their contacts. Well, you no longer need to share photos, videos or even GIFs and memes. Now you can also share only text. Something really comfortable and striking to get a message across in a massive way. Or to avoid wasting time taking the perfect selfie to share. And it's iPhone users who start receiving this feature.

These are Statuses that seem to be taken directly from Facebook. One of those publications that allow you to insert text on colored and textured backgrounds. Something that WhatsApp has copied almost by heart, although with different style and format options. Now its managers have started rolling out this feature gradually to all iPhone users. This is how they are used.

How to activate WhatsApp Text States

At the moment little else can be done than having WhatsApp updated to the latest version of iOS. And it is that WhatsApp is activating this function directly through its servers. Therefore, there is no way in which the user can force the arrival of this feature. Just arm yourself with patience and wait several days.

Once WhatsApp launches a feature, it's a matter of hours or days before it reaches all users. This deployment system makes it possible to control that the service is not saturated. Or even cut the deployment in the bud if a failure or malfunction is discovered. Or any security issue. And it seems that WhatsApp is taking it easy on this one. The usual leaker of news about this application, WABetaInfo, already confirmed the fact a few hours ago.

How to use WhatsApp Text States on iPhone

Once the function appears in our application, it will no longer only activate the terminal's camera. A camera and a pencil appear next to the States icon. Thus, when you only want to share text, simply click on the pencil icon to enter the new function.

This is an editing screen similar to that of the usual States.The difference is that it is created to enter text. Just tap on the screen to make the keyboard appear and write any type of message From an elaborate poem, to a riddle, a joke or a simple "hello world”. Any option is valid. In addition, WhatsApp offers enough length to satisfy the expressive needs of the most chatty users.

The interesting thing is that WhatsApp has different editing tools so that the message is not flat and too simple without an image. Just click on the icon of the letter T in the upper right corner to switch between different fonts Thus, the text changes its appearance, going to a more casual and caricaturesque, or a more formal and printed one. And the same happens with the tonality that serves as the background.In this case you have to click on the icon of the palette to switch between different colors Although, unlike what happens on Facebook, there are no backgrounds with textures. For now.

Together with this you can take advantage of the Emoji emoticons. The only thing that is missing is the possibility of drawing as it happens with the other WhatsApp States. Or even manage the size of text and emoticons.

Remember that these WhatsApp text statuses also remain visible to all contacts for 24 hours. After said time, they disappear forever.
