Even, I liked the older one, but we cannot do anything as we have to keep going with the updates that come in the products we use. Many WhatsApp users are jubilant and using this new status update regularly, but many users still want to use the old one as they found that one better. And, all status updates expire within 24-hours’ period which means you have to update your status after every 24 hours if you want to keep showing something on your status. You can see your contact updates as well below on the screen. Either you can click to update or choose a photo or video from phone’s gallery and update the status. But recently one of its biggest updates came out which is the new Snapchat like Status If you remember, we had the simple text based Status update on WhatsApp which is now replaced with the new Snapchat like Status in which you can update a photo or a video along with a caption.Īs you can see in the above screenshot, you can tap to add status update under STATUS tab.

There have been many updates coming up time to time. I loved it because I never liked typing much on my phone, so when I am in front of my computer, I use it and type messages with my PC’s Keyboard. One of the significant updates was which enables us to cast WhatsApp chat screen onto our computer in a Web Browser. Earlier you were able to send only photos, videos, audios, and contacts. The beauty of WhatsApp is that it is ad-free you don’t have to tolerate those popping out advertisements while you are chatting.Įver since WhatsApp has launched, it keeps coming up with new features such as audio calls, video calls, and many other features such as you are now able to send documents to your WhatsApp contact as well. Due to its popularity and market share in the Instant messaging app world, Facebook paid a whopping $19 billion to acquire it in the year 2014. And, all this fame it had gotten within a small span of time after being released in January 2010. You can get an idea about its popularity when I will tell you that people don’t say “ message me on WhatsApp” rather they say “ WhatsApp me” that is the branding it has built over the time. WhatsApp is one of the most used instant messaging apps across the globe.
