Longer Status (250 chars) in GB WhatsApp Pro v18.80
Post status messages up to 250 characters — more than 3x the official limit.
In context
Why people actually use Longer Status (250 chars)
Longer Status raises the character limit on your text status update from the official 139-character cap to 250 characters. The difference matters more than it sounds — 139 characters barely fits a sentence with proper punctuation, while 250 lets you write two or three actual sentences. Use cases are unchanged from regular status: a daily mood update, a longer announcement, or a quote you want to share. Image and video statuses are unaffected by this limit (they always supported captions up to ~1000 characters).
