Similar to Snapchat and Instagram's Stories features, WhatsApp status messages last 24 hours and then disappear, and you can add to them throughout the day. But the company is celebrating it today by rolling out a new feature, Status, that's reminiscent of how it got its start.

All those users are also sending 3.3 billion photos, 760 million videos, and 80 million GIFs each day.
