How to set a WhatsApp status on a computer - in detail?

To set a WhatsApp status on a computer, you need to use the WhatsApp Web or Desktop application, as the mobile app does not support changing your status from a computer directly. Here is a detailed step-by-step guide:

1. Open WhatsApp Web:

   • Go to web.whatsapp.com in your web browser.

2. Scan the QR Code:

   • On your phone, open WhatsApp and go to "Settings" > "Linked Devices".
   • Tap on "Link a Device" and scan the QR code displayed on your computer screen with your phone’s camera.

3. Access WhatsApp Web:

   • Once you have scanned the QR code, your WhatsApp account will be linked to the web version. You can now use WhatsApp on your computer.

4. Set Your Status:

   • Click on the "Status" tab at the top of the screen. This is where you see the status updates from your contacts.
   • To set a new status, click on the pencil icon located next to the “My status” section.

5. Upload or Create Your Status:

   • You will be presented with several options: "Camera", "Documents", and "Gallery".
   • If you want to upload an image or a video from your computer, click on the folder icon (usually representing “Documents”). Navigate to the file location on your computer, select the desired media, and click “Open”.
   • Alternatively, if you wish to take a new photo or record a video using your webcam, click on the camera icon.

6. Edit Your Status (Optional):

   • After uploading or capturing your status, you have the option to edit it. You can add text, emojis, or draw on the image/video.
   • Use the tools available at the top of the screen to make any necessary edits.

7. Send Your Status:

   • Once you are satisfied with your status update, click on the green “Send” button (usually depicted as a paper airplane icon) located at the bottom right corner of the screen.

8. Confirmation:

   • After sending, you will see a confirmation message indicating that your status has been successfully updated. Your contacts can now view your new status.

By following these steps, you can easily set and update your WhatsApp status directly from your computer using WhatsApp Web or Desktop application.
