Status Privacy selector in latest WhatsApp beta 2.16.341 for Android

GIF search (HIDDEN) feature works correctly in latest WhatsApp beta.
In precedent beta versions, it wasn't possible to search GIFs because the feature was incomplete.

New WhatsApp changelog released!

WhatsApp Messenger (iOS)
Version: 2.16.16.20
#BETA

What's new (@WABetaInfo changelog):
• Updated Croatian and Italian localizations.
• Very small improvements for the forward picker.
• Very small improvements for the camera.
• Bug fixes for sharing GIFs.

NOTES:
Analyzing this 2.16.16.20 beta, it isn't really a beta, but it seems an official release.
In fact, thanks to many reports that I received on Twitter, I noticed that the Italian localization hasn't been updated, but in this build seems there are also some updates for the Croatian localization.
This is the main reason that they didn't include beta features in this build, because they will send this update to Apple very soon (in this week).
