What a news status is
Most people use their WhatsApp status for photos. A news status is the same thing used differently: a publisher posts headlines to it, and the people who follow that number see them in their Updates tab.
It is quieter than a group and quieter than a channel. Nothing lands in your chats. Nothing buzzes. You look when you want to look, and the latest headlines are there.

Status, channel or group: what is the difference?
A status is posted from an ordinary WhatsApp number. It reaches people who have saved that number and been saved back. It feels personal, because it sits among the statuses of people you know.
A channel is a one-way broadcast. Anyone can follow it without saving anyone, the publisher’s number stays hidden, and followers cannot reply.
A group puts everyone in one room together, which is why news groups turn into noise.
