Many people woke up to a bit scary development this morning. WhatsApp had introduced a new "state" feature during the night. This feature is quite similar to the Instagram and Snapchat stories. Now users can upload images and videos as their status. These disappear after 24 hours. This means goodbye to plain text message states in WhatsApp. So what makes it a bit scary? The fact that many parents use WhatsApp too! While Snapchat and Instagram are universally popular among millennia, WhatsApp is a more "family-oriented" application.Many people, predictable and understandable then, are terrified by what this update will mean to them.
With the launch of a new 'Status' feature for everyone, WhatsApp has become more than just a messaging app. Its features are very similar to features found on other social media platforms such as Snapchat and Instagram. This is a follow-up to the idea of original state, which the application manufacturers had envisioned in the messaging service. When WhatsApp came into existence, manufacturers were so obsessed with the status feature, that texting was not even a part of the application. In 2009, users could only update their status, ie if they were available or occupied.
Now, WhatsApp's new status tool lets you share photos, videos and animated GIFs with other users. WhatsApp Status messages will also provide options for editing with texts, emoji, and fingerprints. WhatsApp will allow its users to send status publications to all or specific users. You can also control your "privacy settings", which means you can control who can or can not view status updates. There is a menu at the top right, which says 'Privacy Status', where you can select the 'My Contacts Except' options to 'share only with'.
Meanwhile, WhatsApp, in order to stay relevant, has been bringing some amazing new features into its messaging application. The application owned by Facebook has copied a feature that was once part of Snapchat, but according to the first, it is simply satisfying consumer expectations. Facebook did something similar with Instagram, and it became a big hit.
