Whatsapp Launches New 'status' Feature For Sharing Videos And Photos by zpakln(f): 5:06pm On Feb 24, 2017 |
WhatsApp Launches New 'Status' Feature for Sharing Videos and Photos That Expire After 24 Hours The company has re-invented the status tool – which until now has only offered the option to put a piece of text next to your name, like “at the gym” – so that it takes one of Snapchat’s most central and celebrated features. And it is just the latest Facebook company to do so – with everything from Instagram to Facebook’s own app taking its competitors innovations. People will now be able to share photos and videos as “statuses”, in a similar way to how stories work on Snapchat and now Instagram. Rather than simply posting text, they will be able to add pictures that will show for all their friends – until they are automatically deleted. Jam Koum, WhatsApp’s founder and boss, said that it had been working to improve the status feature ever since it was first introduced in 2009. The app was actually created as a way of posting these statuses – so that you could let all your friends and contacts know what you’re up to – and has had them ever since, despite company looking to improve them. “We are excited to announce that, coinciding with WhatsApp’s 8th birthday on February 24, we are reinventing the status feature,” Mr Koum wrote. “Starting today, we are rolling out an update to status, which allows you to share photos and videos with your friends and contacts on WhatsApp in an easy and secure way. Yes, even your status updates are end-to-end encrypted. “Just like eight years ago when we first started WhatsApp, this new and improved status feature will let you keep your friends who use WhatsApp easily updated in a fun and simple way. From all of us at WhatsApp, we hope you enjoy it!” In use, the feature looks almost identical to the Instagram feature. But unlike the same tool for Instagram, only friends and contacts will be able to see whatever is posted using it. http://www.ngcube.com/whatsapp-launches-new-status-feature-for-sharing-videos-and-photos-that-expire-after-24-hours/ 2 Likes 1 Share |

Ay92: Exactly. Everything is now a circus and showoff centre. I loved Whatsapp for its simplicity and then it's core purpose as an instant messenger. Now we have a mini social network in our hands. I'd be happier if the update was on getting notifications if someone mentioned you in a group chat. 13 Likes 3 Shares |
