How to post a Diwali status on WhatsApp

A WhatsApp status stays up for 24 hours and is seen by the contacts you allow. These steps are for the current WhatsApp app on Android and iPhone; button positions can differ slightly by version.

  1. 1

    Open the Updates tab

    Open WhatsApp and tap Updates at the bottom. Your status is at the top, under Status.

  2. 2

    For a text status, tap the pencil

    Tap the pencil icon (on iPhone, tap the + or camera next to Status and choose Text). Paste a status line from this page.

  3. 3

    Pick a colour and font

    Tap the palette icon to change the background colour and the T icon to change the font. Short lines look best; long text shrinks.

  4. 4

    For a photo status, tap the camera

    Tap the camera icon or Add status, pick your Diwali photo from the gallery, and paste a caption from this page in the "Add a caption" box.

  5. 5

    Check who can see it

    Before sending, check status privacy (My contacts, My contacts except, or Only share with). Use "My contacts except" if a status is not meant for clients or the office group.

  6. 6

    Send

    Tap the send arrow. Your status is now live for 24 hours. Tap it later to see who has viewed it.

Status vs sending a wish to each person

A status only reaches people who have saved your number and choose to tap on it, and nobody gets a notification. For people who matter, such as relatives, clients or customers, a direct wish with their name gets read and replied to.

Rapid Sender, a free browser tool for WhatsApp, sends one message per person from your own WhatsApp with each name filled in. It does not post statuses; it sends normal chats.

  1. 7

    Make your list

    An Excel or CSV sheet with a name column and a phone column. Numbers don't need to be saved in your phone. Up to 5,000 rows per file.

  2. 8

    Link WhatsApp

    Open rapid-sender.com and on your phone go to WhatsApp, Linked devices, Link a device. Scan the QR code or use the pairing code.

  3. 9

    Paste a line and add {{name}}

    Upload your sheet, paste a status line or wish, and click + Name to place {{name}}. The live preview shows what one person will get.

  4. 10

    Attach your Diwali photo (optional)

    Attach the same photo you used for your status. You can print each person's name on it in English, Hindi, Gujarati and other fonts.

  5. 11

    Test, then send

    Send a test to yourself, then to all or chosen contacts. A random pause of 7 to 10 seconds between messages means about 16 minutes per 100 people, with a live report of sent and failed.

Tips for a good Diwali status

  • Keep it under about 140 characters. People tap through statuses quickly.

  • Post the main Diwali status on the morning of 8 November; that is when most people check statuses.

  • One photo with a caption beats ten photos in a row. People skip long status stacks.

  • Want a stylish font in your status or name? Try the free stylish font generator.

  • Shops: add something useful (timings, holiday dates, booking number) along with the wish.

  • Check privacy before posting a funny status if clients or your boss are in your contacts.

Frequently asked questions

What is a good Diwali status for WhatsApp?

A short line of under 140 characters with one emoji works best, for example "A little light goes a long way. Happy Diwali, everyone!" Post it as a text status or as the caption on your Diwali photo.

How long does a WhatsApp status stay?

A WhatsApp status disappears automatically after 24 hours. You can delete it earlier from the Updates tab.

How do I put a Diwali status with a photo?

Go to Updates, tap the camera icon or Add status, pick your photo and type or paste a caption in the caption box, then tap send.

Can I hide my Diwali status from some contacts?

Yes. In status privacy choose "My contacts except" and pick the people who should not see it, or "Only share with" to show it to a chosen few.

What is a good Diwali status for a shop?

Thank your customers and add something useful, like Diwali timings or holiday dates: "Open till 10 pm all Diwali week. Shubh Deepavali to all our customers!"

Does everyone see my status?

No. Only contacts who have saved your number and are allowed by your privacy setting can see it, and they get no notification. To make sure someone sees your wish, send it to them directly.
