240 Funny WhatsApp Statuses to Make Your Friends Laugh

When it comes to getting a quick message to nearly anyone in the world, modern techno-users have plenty of options. But in that crowded field, the Facebook product WhatsApp has risen above the rest to become one of the world’s favorite ways to send messages. WhatsApp has built a huge user community, largely due to its incredibly simple interface, and it allows free voice and text communication between individuals all around the world without raising your phone bill. Adding to the appeal of WhatsApp are its platform-agnostic philosophy and the fact that, unlike Facebook Messenger, the app doesn’t bog your phone down with games and other nonsense that don’t relate to its main purpose. It’s a very simple texting interface that allows you to communicate with nearly anyone, anywhere, anytime, without all the red tape, charges, or distractions.  Whether you’re trying to keep in touch with family in another country or your buddy across the street, WhatsApp is the go-to app for casual, straightforward communication.

Statuses in WhatsApp

While WhatsApp tries very hard to distinguish itself from its social media cousins, it does have one social media-type feature that has become very popular:  Statuses. You can set a status in WhatsApp, which lets your friends see what you’re up to without having to ping you with a message or a call. This could be anything from a green dot to indicate you’re available to chat, an away message, or a serious threat against anyone who dare disturb you.

Beyond the basic statuses of  “Available” or “Away,” WhatsApp lets you add your own text message to show as your status. This makes the feature kind of a combination of the old-school status and a short Facebook or Twitter update. It’s a very popular feature, since it lets you give out meaningful or amusing information without forcing people to ping you to be updated and forcing you to respond. It’s just there and visible, so you can literally tell people what you’re doing. You can also send out an active status update to all of your contacts to let them know you’re ready to talk!

How to Change your WhatsApp Status

There are two types of WhatsApp status: your “About” (the old-school way of status-setting), which sets the status people see when they look at your profile, and the relatively new “Status” page (a knock-off Instagram stories feature), which sends out an update. The two statuses are different; changing one will not change the other.

Changing the Permanent Status

  1. Open the WhatsApp app.
  2. Tap the three-dot icon in the upper right corner of the screen.
  3. Tap “Settings” in the menu that pops up.
  4. Tap your name, then tap the edit button (the pen icon) under “About”.
  5. Select a default status from the menu, or tap the edit button under “Currently set to” and type a new status.
  6. Hit the back button in the upper left-hand corner twice.

Sending Out a Status Update

  1. Open the WhatsApp app.
  2. Tap the “Status” tab between the “Chats” and “Calls” tab at the top of the app.
  3. Tap “My Status”.
  4. Add a new picture or video and a caption.
  5. Hit the right arrow button to send the status out to your contacts list.

Note that unlike the permanent status update above, the statuses you send out to your contact list will disappear after 24 hours.

WhatsApp statuses are not only for serious communication. What would be the fun in that? If you’re looking for a funny WhatsApp status to make your friends chuckle, we’ve got some great suggestions for you. With these hilarious statuses, you’ll be able to grab your friends’ attention immediately. Check them out below!

Without further ado, here are some statuses you and/or your friends might find amusing.  Try them out and see if you get any laughs. Note that the WhatsApp About field is limited to 139 characters, so you can’t put in long jokes. Remember:  Brevity is the soul of wit.
