WhatsApp the most favourite instant messaging application of the planet continuously getting new features to make things awesome. And now the company is rolling out the new update in the area where it doesn’t change from a long time, the new update will change the Status setup and with the new update uses can set their status like never before.
The Facebook owned WhatsApp has announced a new feature called Status, the company had a Status tab since it launched. But it allows you to set status only in text, many people don’t even change the default WhatsApp status which is ‘Hey there, I’m using WhatsApp’, the company wants to bring change in this sector. As the new Status feature will allow you to make your status in the form of Images, GIF’s and Videos, and will it will automatically disappear the status after 24 hours. The company also claims that any shared contents in the Status will have end-to-end encrypted, which will give extra protection over privacy.
This feature is actually not new, as we have seen it in the Snapchat. And Facebook is not copying the feature for the first time, as Instagram which is also Facebook owned app has the feature called ‘Stories’ since 2016. The company bringing the new feature at the time of its birthday, which is on 24th February. But you don’t have to till that day, as the company started to roll out the feature to all the platforms.
Update on 24.02.2017
Starting from today the Status feature is officially live for all the users, the company rolled out the new feature on the occasion of its birthday. As we mentioned above you can add Images, GIF’s and Videos in the Status, and will it will automatically disappear the status after 24 hours.
And it allows you to draw on images and also add stickers on it. You can also write text on an image. You can also type texts in different colours, there is full spectrum of RGB colours. You can also resize, rotate and move the text and stickers.
The company has also changed the privacy setup of Status, now you have three options in the privacy section ‘My contacts’, ‘My contacts except’ and ‘Only share with’. This is something I personally wanted to have from long time. And I hope that the company will give this privacy setup in Profile photo and last seen section.
The unfortunate part is, the company has taken off the permanent status (text based). But hope the company will bring back it. Along with the new Status feature, WhatsApp has changed its UI and now it looks pretty decent.
Update ends on 24.02.2017

Very rapidly this website will be famous among all blogging viewers, due to it’s pleasant posts
Hey there this is somewhat of off topic but I was wondering if blogs use
WYSIWYG editors or if you have to manually code with HTML. I’m starting a
blog soon but have no coding knowledge so I wanted to get guidance from
someone with experience. Any help would be greatly appreciated!
I am not certain where you’re getting your information, however great topic.
I needs to spend some time learning much more or working out more.
Thanks for wonderful information I was searching for this info for my mission.
You actually make it appear really easy together with your
presentation however I to find this matter to be actually one thing that I feel I would never understand.
It seems too complex and very extensive for me. I am having a look forward on your next
put up, I’ll try to get the grasp of it!
This piece of writing is genuinely a nice one it helps new internet visitors, who are
wishing for blogging.
It’s actually very complex in this busy life to listen news on Television, thus I simply use internet for that reason, and obtain the latest news.
Hello exceptional website! Does running a
blog like this require a large amount of work?
I have very little understanding of programming but I had been hoping to start my own blog in the
near future. Anyway, should you have any recommendations or
tips for new blog owners please share. I understand this
is off subject nevertheless I just had to ask. Thank you!
Wow, that’s what I was looking for, what a stuff!
existing here at this blog, thanks admin of this site.
Woah! I’m really enjoying the template/theme
of this website. It’s simple, yet effective.
A lot of times it’s difficult to get that “perfect balance” between superb usability and appearance.
I must say that you’ve done a amazing job with this.
Additionally, the blog loads extremely quick for me on Opera.
Excellent Blog!
You’re so interesting! I do not suppose I’ve truly read through something like
that before. So good to discover someone with a few unique thoughts on this topic.
Really.. thank you for starting this up. This web
site is one thing that’s needed on the internet, someone with
some originality!
I do not even know how I ended up here, but I thought this
post was good. I do not know who you are but certainly you are going to a famous blogger if you aren’t already 😉 Cheers!
I think what you composed made a ton of sense.
But, think on this, suppose you wrote a catchier post title?
I mean, I don’t wish to tell you how to run your blog, however what if you added a post title to maybe get a person’s attention? I mean WhatsApp to bring new
Status feature; Here's everything you need to know is
a little vanilla. You should glance at Yahoo’s home page and watch how they create post titles to get
viewers interested. You might add a video or a picture or two to get people interested about what you’ve written.
Just my opinion, it would make your posts a little livelier.
