How to make a link in the WhatsApp status - in detail?
To create a clickable link in your WhatsApp status, follow these detailed steps:
-
Update Your App: Ensure you have the latest version of WhatsApp installed on your device. Links in status updates are only available in recent versions of the app.
-
Open WhatsApp: Launch the WhatsApp application on your smartphone.

-
Add Link to Status: Once you have selected your content, tap on the "Link" icon. This icon typically looks like a chain link and is found among other editing options such as text, doodle, emoji, etc. If the link icon is not visible, it might be because the feature is not yet available for your account.

Preview and Publish: Before publishing your status, preview it to ensure that the link is correctly placed and functioning as intended. Once satisfied with your update, tap on the "Send" button (usually represented by an arrow) to publish your status with the clickable link.

Share Your Status: Your status will now be visible to all your contacts who have you added to their contact list. When they view your status, they can simply tap on the link to be redirected to the website you shared.
