This feature will also be added to WhatsApp Status and is only visible to beta testers on version 2.22.10.6. The option will not be visible to all beta testers.
WABetaInfo reports that in the regular version, users are not able to select different recipients for sending media files from a chat. WhatsApp’s camera tab is the only way to do this. Now, users can choose the recipients when they send a GIF, video, or photo. The options for status updates are My contacts (except My contacts) and Only share with. Users will be able now to control who can see their WhatsApp Status.
