WhatsApp makes its 'Status' feature available for all
The company also confirmed that the status updates just like chats and calls on the app are end-to-end encrypted.
Chatting app WhatsApp recently updated its ‘Status’ feature with the ability to change statuses into a short video or photos. However, the update was only available for users in Europe. It appears like the company has finally rolled out the new update for all Android, iPhone and Windows users across the globe including India.
"We are excited to announce that, coinciding with WhatsApp's 8th birthday on February 24, we are reinventing the status feature," wrote Jan Koum, CEO and Co-founder of WhatsApp in an announcement blog post earlier this week.
"Starting today, iPhone, Android and Windows users can send photos, videos and GIFs through Status to share special moments throughout their day with friends and family," said the company.
The company also confirmed that the status updates just like chats and calls on the app are end-to-end encrypted.
