Upon Further Review, WhatsApp Is Bringing Back Text Status Updates
WhatsApp introduced a Snapchat-like Status feature, with photos and videos, last month
Due to popular demand, text status updates are coming back to WhatsApp.
The Facebook-owned messaging application began rolling out a Snapchat-like Status feature—including photos and videos—last month.
However, WhatsApp confirmed to Josh Constine of TechCrunch that text feature About Status is being rolled out to Android users over the next week, with iOS users to follow shortly thereafter.
Users with access to the “new” old feature can set text statuses in the About sections of their profiles, and they can see their friends’ statuses by starting new chat threads or via the information for group chats.
