Good News For Whatsapp Users! Whatsapp Status Will Be Back As Before

Yes, the most loved feature of Whatsapp, it’s ‘Status’ will be back soon as it was a month ago. A month ago, Whatsapp removed the feature which let you post your status on the messaging service and replaced it with a new feature which is a SnapChat lookalike.

As a lot of WhatsApp users were unhappy with the new feature, the company faced severe criticism with the same and finally decided to remove its new feature and replace with the older version.

Just as before, users can set a text status and also have a look at the other people’s Status by opening their contacts.

Facebook-owned company Whatsapp had done a clone of Snapchat Stories to its Whatsapp and received an instant backlash from its users. This is the sole reason why they decided to get back to its original feature.

This change can be expected by the next week for all Android devices, and then subsequently will be changing for iOS devices.

Whatsapp executives spoke about this saying: “We heard from our users that they missed the ability to set a text only update in their profile, so we integrated this feature into the ‘About’ section in the profile settings.”

They also said that they are continuing to build on the new Status feature that gives people fun and engaging ways to share photos, videos as well as GIF’s with their family and friends throughout their day.
