You can put someone else's WhatsApp status on your phone without downloading it; changing this setting will do the trick..

Sometimes you like someone's status on WhatsApp so much that you want to add it to your own. To do this, you first search for a similar status on Google or ask your friends to share it. However, WhatsApp has now eliminated this problem for users. A new feature, Reshare Updates, has been introduced in the app. Now, you can add anyone's WhatsApp status to your WhatsApp with just one tap. However, to do this, users will need to enable an option in the settings.

Reshare Status on WhatsApp with a single tap
With the WhatsApp Reshare Status feature, you can now upload anyone's status to your WhatsApp. There's no need to download the video or photo posted on the status. It's similar to resharing Reels and posts on Instagram Stories.

No Privacy Threat
This feature has also raised concerns among people about their privacy. They think that this way, anyone can post their photos or personal videos on their status. However, this is not the case. The feature can be enabled and disabled in the settings. If you don't want anyone to reshare your status, you can turn it off in the settings.

Turn it on like this:
Step 1 - To turn the feature on or off, you need to open WhatsApp.

Step 2 - Next, go to the app's settings.

Step 3 - Then, go to the Privacy section.

Step 4 - Then, click on the Status option.

Step 5 - Here, you will find the Allow Sharing option.

Step 6 - Click on this option to turn the feature on.

Reshare others' status like this:
Step 1 - To reshare a friend or family member's status, when you open their status, you will see a reshare option. Step 2 - This option will be next to the button to like the status. Step 3 - Clicking on it will allow you to share the status.

If the option isn't visible on someone's status
If you don't see the reshare option on someone's status, they have currently disabled this feature for their status. With this feature, WhatsApp will become even more useful for users.

Keep these things in mind.
To use the WhatsApp reshare feature, you must ensure you have the latest version of WhatsApp on your phone. To do this, update WhatsApp by going to the Google Play Store and then the App Store.
