Everything you need to know :WhatsApp's new status feature
WhatsApp users are able to share photos, videos and GIFs to all their contacts for 24 hours before disappearing.
Just like Snapchat and Instagram, users can use emojis, draw on photos and add captions. Friends and family on the
app can then reply to the Status, starting a new WhatsApp conversation.
WhatsApp headed off potential criticism that the app is copying Instagram or Snapchat, saying in the announcement
that the app began as a simplistic way to let people know what you were up to, even before it introduced the
messaging feature now synonymous with the app.
The changes are set to revolutionise the way people use the app, turning it from a purely active messaging tool to a
more passive experience. It also opens up the possibility for adverts to be added into the app, although this hasn’t
been confirmed.
