Voice status can be used for sending more personal updates, especially if you feel more comfortable expressing yourself by talking rather than typing.<\/p>\n<h4>Status reactions<\/h4>\n<p>The app will also add status reactions to provide a quick and easy way to respond to status updates from friends and close contacts. This was the #1 feature users wanted, following the launch of Reactions last year. You can now quickly reply to any status by swiping up and tapping on one of eight emojis. You can of course still reply to a status with text, voice messages, stickers and more.<\/p>\n<div class=\"vlp-link-container vlp-layout-pricecheck-visual-link-template\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.mondo.co.za\/page\/Deals-Under-R500\" class=\"vlp-link\" title=\"Check out the Best Smartphone &amp; Contract Deals Under R500\" rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\"><\/a><div class=\"vlp-layout-zone-side\"><div class=\"vlp-block-2 vlp-link-image\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" style=\"max-width: 150px;\" width=\"150\" height=\"104\" src=\"\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/Samsung-Galaxy-A04s.jpg\" class=\"attachment-150x999 size-150x999\" alt=\"Samsung Galaxy A04s\" srcset=\"\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/Samsung-Galaxy-A04s.jpg 786w, \/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/Samsung-Galaxy-A04s-300x208.jpg 300w, \/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/Samsung-Galaxy-A04s-768x533.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 150px) 100vw, 150px\" \/><\/div><\/div><div class=\"vlp-layout-zone-main\"><div class=\"vlp-block-0 vlp-link-title\">Check out the Best Smartphone &amp; Contract Deals Under R500<\/div><div class=\"vlp-block-1 vlp-link-summary\">Compare and find the best network deals to suit your budget.<\/div><\/div><\/div>\n<h4>Status profile rings for new updates<\/h4>\n<p>With the new status profile ring, you\u2019ll never miss a status from a loved one.
