Facebook-style colored text status now available on WhatsApp

Earlier this week, WhatsApp started testing Facebook-like color text status feature on its beta app, and now it has rolled out the same functionality to the public. Starting today, you can customize text status by choosing a specific font and background color or include links.

You'll  now see a floating "pen" icon in the status tab at the bottom of the screen, right above the camera icon. Clicking on the pen icon, brings up the option to type a status, select font, add emoji and background color. When done, users have to hit the green arrow key to set the status, and your contacts will see the published status.

The new feature will be added through server side change and is available for Android, iOS and WhatsApp Web.
