What is what does available mean on whatsapp?

On WhatsApp, "Available" typically refers to a user's status or presence indicator. WhatsApp allows users to set a status message or automatic status update that informs their contacts about their current availability or activity. Here’s how it generally works:

1. Status Updates: People can create text, photo, video, or GIF updates that are shared with their contacts. These are temporary and disappear after 24 hours.

2. Custom Status Messages: Users can set a custom status message like "Available," "Busy," or any other text they choose to indicate their current mood or availability. This text status can be seen in the user’s profile information by their contacts.

3. Last Seen and Online Status: WhatsApp shows "Online" when you are actively using the app. The "Last Seen" timestamp indicates the last time you were active on WhatsApp, which could imply availability but is not the same as a status message stating "Available."

4. Privacy Settings: Users can control who sees their status updates and last seen information through their privacy settings, allowing them to have more control over their availability perception.

These features help users communicate their availability and current status to their contacts without directly messaging each person individually.
