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 day’s headlines are there.
How to join a WhatsApp news status
One
Send the word JOIN to 848-469-4164 on WhatsApp.
Two
Save the number in your phone.
Three
Open your Updates tab. That is where the headlines appear.
Saving the number is the part people skip, and it is the part that matters. WhatsApp only shows status updates between two people who have each other saved. If the number is not in your contacts, the updates will not reach you.
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.
What arrives on the MYB status
Business news and business insights — the trending stories, the numbers that move, property and deals, and the opportunities worth knowing. Plain English, read at a glance.
You can also read everything on the site: the headlines page is updated around the clock.
