I messed up, how do I delete my WhatsApp Status?
Made a mistake? Don't worry about it, you can easily delete these updates. This is how you can delete your WhatsApp Status:
1. Open WhatsApp obviously.
2. Go to the Status tab. Scroll to find the status you want to delete.
3. Tap on the eye icon that shows how many people have seen the status.
4. This will show a list of the people who viewed your status.
5. Tap the trash icon, and tap Delete to confirm.

There doesn't seem to be a way to delete multiple WhatsApp Status updates in one go though, so don't mess up too much!
How do I edit privacy settings of WhatsApp Status?
You can set it so that only specific WhatsApp contacts can see your status, or you can make a list of contacts who
can't see these, or set it to show to all your contacts.

2. Go to Status and tap on the Three dots menu icon on the top right, and tap on
Status privacy .
3. Alternatively, you can tap on the menu button in the main chats screen and open
Settings > Account > Privacy > Status.
