The beta notes state that the QR code can be revoked if users now decide not to share their number with anyone else. It is unknown at this time when this feature will be rolled out to all users but it is expected to be rolled out to all users in the next few days.

Recently, WhatsApp had decided that users will now be able to post 30 seconds of video on their status instead of 15 seconds. A few days ago, the company made a change and allowed only 15 seconds of video to be posted on statuses instead of 30 seconds. The company has given a big reason behind the change.

Users are currently spending the most time on social media, which is why the Internet is being used so much. Users apply multiple statuses daily. In view of this, the company had fixed the situation for 15 seconds.

Users will now be able to reset the status to 30 seconds instead of 15 seconds. Earlier, it was reported that the move was taken to reduce server infrastructure and traffic in the Lockdown in India. Many users were not happy with the change.
