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.

You should be a part of a contest for one of the finest websites on the internet.
I will highly recommend this web site!
I read this post fully on the topic of the resemblance of most recent and preceding technologies, it’s remarkable article.
I used to be recommended this web site by way of my cousin.
I’m not certain whether this post is written via
him as nobody else realize such detailed approximately my
problem. You are incredible! Thanks!
You really make it seem so easy with your presentation but I find this topic to be really something which I think I would never understand.
It seems too complicated and very broad for me.
I am looking forward for your next post, I’ll try to
get the hang of it!
Hello there, just became alert to your blog through Google, and found that it is truly informative.
I’m gonna watch out for brussels. I’ll be grateful
if you continue this in future. Numerous people will be benefited from your writing.

Everything said was actually very logical. However, what about this?
suppose you typed a catchier post title? I am not suggesting your content isn’t good, but
what if you added something that grabbed a person’s attention? I mean WhatsApp to bring new Status feature; Here's everything you need to know is
a little boring. You might look at Yahoo’s home page and note how they create news headlines
to grab viewers to open the links. You might add a video or a
related picture or two to get people interested about everything’ve
written. Just my opinion, it would bring your posts a
little bit more interesting.
Right here is the perfect website for everyone who wants to understand this topic.
You know so much its almost hard to argue with you (not that I personally will need to…HaHa).
You definitely put a brand new spin on a subject that has been written about for years.
Excellent stuff, just great!
With havin so much content do you ever run into any issues of plagorism
or copyright violation? My website has a lot of completely unique content I’ve either
created myself or outsourced but it seems a lot of it is popping it up all over the internet without my agreement.
Do you know any solutions to help stop content
from being ripped off? I’d genuinely appreciate it.
Howdy! Do you use Twitter? I’d like to follow you if that
would be okay. I’m undoubtedly enjoying your blog and look
forward to new posts.
When I initially commented I clicked the “Notify me when new comments are added” checkbox and now each time a comment is added I get
four emails with the same comment. Is there any way you can remove me from that service?
Cheers!
I think this is one of the most important information for me.
And i am glad reading your article. But should remark on some general things, The web site style is great, the articles
is really nice : D. Good job, cheers
With havin so much written content do you ever run into any

My blog has a lot of completely unique content I’ve either created myself or outsourced but it seems a lot of

It’s wonderful that you are getting thoughts from this

May I simply say what a relief to discover a
person that really knows what they’re discussing online.
You actually know how to bring a problem to light and make it important.
More people have to look at this and understand this side of your story.
I was surprised you aren’t more popular given that you most certainly possess the gift.
