Overview
- Rollout has begun on Android and iOS in a staged release this week, with no timeline announced for Web or desktop.
- The update surfaces a contact’s Info as a speech‑bubble above one‑to‑one chats and under profile names, with tap‑to‑reply interaction.
- Entries support brief text or emoji and default to 24 hours of visibility, with options to shorten or extend the duration.
- Privacy settings let users choose who can see an Info update, including all contacts, selected groups, or specific people.
- The revival echoes WhatsApp’s original 2009 About line and resembles Instagram Notes, reflecting Meta’s push for lightweight presence signals.
