WhatsApp is constantly updating with amazing user friendly features. It's clear that WhatsApp is dominating global instant messenger market at present. It has been pushing in some seriously interesting updates from the past few months, turning it for the first time into a platform for passively consuming content, similar to the way people scroll through their Facebook or Instagram newsfeeds.

WhatsApp has launched a new feature that let you
express yourself using a short video, this feature is exactly like
Snapchat for mim video chats.
The new "WhatsApp Status" will allow
users share photos, GIFs or videos overlaid with drawings, emojis and
a caption that will be visible to selected friends for 24 hours,
before disappearing. The feature was tested in November last year and
was pushed to beta testers last week.
How to Use The WhatsApp Snapchat Features
Status gets a tab of its own, in between Chats and
Calls. It's easy to create Status messages, especially if you've used
the aforementioned Stories feature in either Snapchat or Instagram.
WhatsApp Status updates you create are visible to your contacts by
default, though you can change them to My contacts and you can share
them.
Within the Status tab you will see various groups:
My status, which shows your most recent WhatsApp status (you can
swipe to see who's seen your Status, similar to messages); Recent
Updates, which shows new WhatsApp Status messages that your friends
have created in the last 24 hours; Viewed Updates, which is
self-explanatory; and Muted, which lists updates from users you've
muted. If you deleted a WhatsApp Status you've created, it's deleted
from the phones of all your contacts - even from ones who've already
seen the Status.
The new WhatsApp Status is coming out to users in
Netherlands and France, the feature will available soon around the
world for iOS, Android and Windows Phone users. WhatsApp is really
trying guys, please take advantage of the new feature.
