How to Respond to a Friend Status in WhatsApp

WhatsApp users can respond to Status ─ posts that disappear after 24 hours ─ from their contacts in the messenger. The tip may be good for anyone who wants to pull a conversation with a friend they have not talked to for some time, since the response to Status appears in the common chat of the app, where you can continue the conversation. The procedure works on messenger versions for Android and iPhone (iOS) phones and is similar to the responses from Instagram Stories.

In the following tutorial, take a step-by-step look at how to respond to instant messages from your WhatsApp, iPhone, and Android contacts.
