What Is the WhatsApp iOS Green Dot? Online Status vs Activity Check: verified scope, keywords, TXT input, Excel fields, and product boundaries.
Reports in July 2026 described a WhatsApp iOS test showing a green dot for online contacts; beta availability may vary.
Verified event
Reports in July 2026 described a WhatsApp iOS test showing a green dot for online contacts; beta availability may vary. The factual reference for this page is the 9to5Mac报道.
What changed
An in-app online indicator is not the same data source as exported WS Activity Check fields and the two should not be substituted.
What did not change
WS Registration Check returns phone number and registration status. Activity Check adds activity time, active days, and mapped number; profile and full-format tasks have separate extended fields. A platform feature update does not create undocumented data capabilities.
How this connects to AIPushAI
For permissioned phone-number workflows, review the actual tasks and fields on the AIPushAI WhatsApp (WA/WS) service page. The news context does not expand the product claim.
Operational response
Update internal guidance with region, version, and date. Label beta or gradual rollouts accurately and retain owned landing pages, CRM permission, and opt-out records.
Data and privacy boundary
Do not infer identity, assets, intent, or consent from usernames, presence indicators, AI tools, wallets, or payment links. Keep interface signals separate from exported check fields.
Keep news references current
Retain the 2026 event date and link to the 9to5Mac报道. If the feature is in beta or gradual rollout, do not describe it as universal. Update the factual paragraph when availability changes without expanding AIPushAI product claims.
What to review next
Availability can change. Recheck the official source and in-app status before acting, and keep the event date instead of presenting a staged release as a permanent universal state.
