A type of live region whose content is advisory information for the user but is not important enough to justify an alert, often but not necessarily presented as a status bar.

Authors SHOULD ensure an element with role status does not receive focus as a result of change in status.

Status is a form of live region. If another part of the page controls what appears in the status, authors SHOULD make the relationship explicit with the aria-controls attribute.

Assistive technologies MAY reserve some cells of a Braille display to render the status.

Elements with the role status have an implicit aria-live value of polite and an implicit aria-atomic value of true.

The status role is used to provide advisory information to the user that isn't important enough for an alert. A role of status has an implicit aria-live value of polite, but this doesn't necessarily mean it will be announced to the user. Authors can use the aria-live property on the region to override how it's usually handled by assistive technologies.
