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

I think this is among the most important information for me.
And i’m glad reading your article. But should remark on few
general things, The site style is great, the articles is
really nice : D. Good job, cheers
My family all the time say that I am killing my time here at web, however I know
I am getting knowledge every day by reading such pleasant
posts.
With havin so much content and articles do you ever run into any problems
of plagorism or copyright violation? My blog has a lot of exclusive content I’ve
either created myself or outsourced but it looks
like 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 definitely appreciate it.
It’s nearly impossible to find educated people on this
subject, however, you sound like you know what you’re talking about!
Thanks
Hi there! This is kind of off topic but I need some help from an established blog.
Is it very difficult to set up your own blog?
I’m not very techincal but I can figure things out pretty quick.
I’m thinking about making my own but I’m not sure where to
start. Do you have any points or suggestions? Thank you
Hi, I think your site might be having browser compatibility issues.
When I look at your blog in Safari, it looks
fine but when opening in Internet Explorer, it has some overlapping.
I just wanted to give you a quick heads up! Other then that,
awesome blog!
Hi my family member! I want to say that this
article is awesome, nice written and come with almost all significant infos.
I would like to peer more posts like this .
Yes! Finally someone writes about ig.
Informative article, totally what I was looking for.
First of all I would like to say excellent blog! I had a quick
question in which I’d like to ask if you do not mind. I was interested to find out how you center yourself and clear your thoughts before writing.
I’ve had trouble clearing my mind in getting my
ideas out there. I truly do enjoy writing but it just seems like
the first 10 to 15 minutes are lost simply just trying
to figure out how to begin. Any ideas or hints? Cheers!
Have you ever considered about adding a little bit more than just your articles?
I mean, what you say is fundamental and everything.
But imagine if you added some great visuals or video clips to give your posts more, “pop”!
Your content is excellent but with images and videos, this website could undeniably be
one of the most beneficial in its field. Good blog!
I’m gone to convey my little brother, that he should also pay a
quick visit this weblog on regular basis to take updated from most up-to-date news.
Hey! Would you mind if I share your blog with my zynga group?
There’s a lot of folks that I think would really enjoy your
content. Please let me know. Many thanks
I’m really loving the theme/design of your weblog.
Do you ever run into any browser compatibility problems?
A few of my blog readers have complained about my site not
working correctly in Explorer but looks great in Firefox.
Do you have any recommendations to help fix this problem?
My developer is trying to convince me to move to .net from PHP.
I have always disliked the idea because of the expenses.
But he’s tryiong none the less. I’ve been using WordPress on a variety of websites
for about a year and am nervous about switching to another platform.
I have heard very good things about blogengine.net. Is there a way I can import all
my wordpress posts into it? Any help would be greatly appreciated!
