Why you should set a blank status or ‘About’ on WhatsApp
On the surface, setting a blank status update on WhatsApp may seem meaningless, but it has some very niche uses. You can use the blank status update as a page breaker for multiple statuses. If that isn’t of much use to you, you can use it to prank your friends. Posting a blank update is fairly easy and shouldn’t take much time.
A blank ‘About’ section is something a lot of WhatsApp users often enquire about. Initially, the ‘About’ section used to be your WhatsApp Status before the messaging platform introduced Instagram-like Stories. Your ‘About’ is a quick way of letting people know what you’re up to. If you’re in a bad network zone and unable to receive WhatsApp messages right away, you can set an appropriate update for it.
Strangely, there is no way to leave the ‘About’ section blank. You can set its visibility to ‘Nobody’, but the update will be visible to you all the time. That is unless you use the trick we’ve mentioned later in this article!
