The feature is rolling out on WhatsApp gradually. To check if you’ve received the update, first update your WhatsApp to the latest version available on the Play Store or App Store. Once updated, check for a new round purple-blue circle icon at the top of your WhatsApp chat. For iOS users, the icon will be visible in the top right corner of WhatsApp near the camera icon.
