WhatsApp Updates Status Feature: Facebook-owned WhatsApp rolled out a “new and improved Status feature” that allows users “to share photos and videos with your friends and contacts on WhatsApp in an easy and secure way.” Like with any other WhatsApp messages, the status updates are “end-to-end encrypted.” TechCrunch reports that the new Status tab also removes all shared images, videos, or GIFs within 24 hours and “could also open up new advertising opportunities for WhatsApp… [by allowing] full-screen ads in-between friends’ Statuses” just like on Snapchat and Instagram Stories. WhatsApp is rolling out this new feature worldwide on iOS, Android, and Windows Phone.
