How long does a WhatsApp Status last, and how long can a video be?
Updated 2 October 2026

- You can post text, photos, videos and GIFs.
- Catalog links can be shared to your Status.
- Post the dish of the day each morning so regulars see it when they check Status.
- Keep it short: one dish, one price, one link.
