I find this feature interesting. So far, the status function in WhatsApp was rather unimportant for most people.
It has been speculated for a few weeks that WhatsApp could introduce new features of the status. Now it's there and it's called WhatsApp Status. This is very similar to the stories from Snapchat - Instagram already has them too.
The next Facebook subsidiary copies the stories. They have only recently appeared on Instagram - now this feature from Snapchat is now also available in WhatsApp. In WhatsApp this feature is called "WhatsApp Status". With this you can label pictures like in Snapchat and share videos for all your friends. The special feature: they automatically disappear after 24 hours and you can see which of his friends has viewed them.
This is what the WhatsApp stories will look like in the future. (Image: WhatsApp)
WhatsApp Status: Rollout officially started
The “Stories” function is very popular right now. You can now find them on Instagram, Snapchat, possibly soon on Facebook, and now also on WhatsApp. “We are therefore pleased to announce our new and improved status function on February 24th, WhatsApp's 8th birthday. From today we are starting to publish the revised status, with which you can easily share pictures and videos with friends on WhatsApp. Your status messages are encrypted end-to-end. ”, As WhatsApp CEO Jan Koum now in WhatsApp company blog announces. This feature will be rolled out to all Android, iOS and Windows Phone users with immediate effect.
Although we are WhatsApp beta testers, we have not yet been able to find this feature. We are excited to see how the whole thing will develop - so far, the WhatsApp status has been rather unimportant for many.
