  • yashchin9 yashchin (@yashchin9) reported

    @WhatsApp Hey Whatsapp, why not an "Emergency" option for "Status" update. Any status updated as "emergency" should notify the user just like unread message and display on top. This will help a lot of people communicate emergency situations when in distress / difficult times.
