Ephemeral status updates have been a WhatsApp feature since 2020.
The addition helped it follow in the footsteps of Snapchat, Telegram, and other popular instant messaging apps on Android.
However, the convenience has been limited to your primary Android phone or iPhone only, even though WhatsApp allows linking other devices to the same user account.
Now, people using WhatsApp on the web can finally post status updates using the latest beta version.
