Below are the things you can conveniently do on the old WhatsApp that you can't do anymore in the updated one

1. Using the new whatsapp eliminates the usage of written status, you can no longer put up a written status update.

2. The new whatsapp has also eliminated the use of contact list, you can no longer view the contact directly on your phone so there is no way to send a message to people you just added to your contact that are on whatsapp. You have to go through a very long process.





3. Since there is no contact list, you cannot refresh your contact list to view new people.


But to the Snapchat gangs, WhatsApp has brought down new Snapchat features that may make you finally quit snapchat for WhatsApp in a full base .

So if you are the type that can't do without the above features, keep your old WhatsApp till it is compulsory to update.

WHAT DO YOU NOTICE ON THE NEW UPDATE ?

den while are u shading stuffs, what u did is creating of new group option, so dont fool yourself. i have confirmed well myself and u can also check well compared to the old one . contact navigation has been replaced with STATUS while wont make easy access to view ur contact directly only if u pass true order long processes while people that arent good in operating wont be able to get easily. so keep shut and stop saying trashs.

The old status is still there. It's called "Tagline" -- at least in iOS.

I prefer the old one jare.

Whatsapp was a more official forum. If you want play, you go to FB. What is different now? angry

Update status will be for 24 hours. Soon it will be allowed to stay permanently. When Zuck is done with all this transformations, whatsapp will no longer be different from Facebook.
