"SlashGear" : WhatsApp is bringing back its text ‘Status’ feature

as informed in WhatsApp is bringing back its text 'Status' featureSince its very beginning, WhatsApp featured a text-based 'Status' feature that allowed users to choose a status that their friends and other contacts could see. WhatsApp users expect something different from the messaging app, and that something different includes the old text-based 'Status' feature. This Status feature will be located in the "About" part of the user's profile, and will basically work the same way as it always has. The feature will first come back for the android version of the messaging app, and it will later arrive on the iOS version. This image-based version of the feature isn't going away, but the text-based version is also coming back, giving users the best of both worlds.
