Social media has brought about an obsession with everyone’s “status” — what are you doing right now? Since WhatsApp is owned by Facebook, it stands to reason that it wouldn’t take long for the status feature to also make its way to WhatsApp eventually. So what does the WhatsApp status feature look like, and how do you get your breakfast onto it?
First, though, we should explain what a status is. On WhatsApp, it can be a picture or video of what you’re doing, what you’re thinking, or something you’ve seen. It differs slightly from Facebook Stories and Instagram Stories, in that the latter two are more feature-rich, including being able to “like” the status/story and leave comments.
