For several days, from tuexperto.com we have been talking about WhatsApp Text States. A new function that those of the most used messaging application in the world have been working on. Although it is not entirely original, and it is that it drinks directly from the colored publications seen on Facebook. Those messages that take advantage of a more or less significant text and that attract attention thanks to colored or textured backgrounds. Well, this feature is already available on WhatsApp, although with some differences, but for all users.
This is a variation of the WhatsApp States already seen to date. In other words, publications that any of our contacts can see for 24 hours After that period of time the publication disappears, presumably, forever. A good way to send a message to all contacts, express a feeling or an idea. Or simply tell a poem, joke or famous phrase that we like. All this using the power of words, and relying on visual characteristics such as typography and color
Now available to everyone
Those of us who closely follow WhatsApp know that this function has been brewing in recent months. However, it wasn't until last week that WhatsApp introduced it to the general public through the iOS platform in the first place.Since just a few hours, Android users can also take advantage of this new feature.
The WhatsApp Text States are released, presented and available for anyone to use, then. All users with a stable and non-beta version (test) of WhatsApp can start writing their messages, famous phrases and other content in textual form. No need to post images, photos, selfies or GIFs, as before.

In the case of iPhone, at the top of the chat screen, My Status is listed in a single button. Just to the right, both the camera icon and the pencil icon appear.This means that we can share images as usual or opt for the new Text States
In the case of Android mobiles, you just have to jump to the states tab. Here two floating buttons appear in the lower right corner. One refers to the states with images, the one with the camera. The other icon, with a pencil, allows us to access the new WhatsApp Text States.
Regarding the editing screen of these WhatsApp Text States, there are no differences between Android and iPhone. Both are simple and direct. You only have to write the text by hand or paste it if it has been copied from a document or web page. The interesting thing is that you can change the format of said text just by pressing the âTâ icon. Thus, you can alternate between more typographical styles or more casual, simulating handwriting. If you click on the palette, however, what varies is the tone of the backgroundOf course, unlike what happens on Facebook, there are no backgrounds with textures.
