WhatsApp brings back text status updates quoting : "Business Today"

as declared in WhatsApp brings back text 'Status' featureSoon after attracting backlash over its Snapchat-like 'Stories' feature, WhatsApp has revived its text 'Status' option while keeping its image-based replacement, a media report said. In mid-February, WhatsApp removed the feature that let users set a message and then gave the 'Status' name to a Snapchat 'Stories' clone. Users can open the 'About' section of their profile to set a text 'Status' and view other people's updates by opening their contact. But last week, text Statuses reappeared in the android Beta version of WhatsApp in the 'About' section of the profiles, Tech Crunch reported on Wednesday. At the same time, we are continuing to build on the new Status feature that gives people fun and engaging ways to share photos, videos and GIFs with their friends and family throughout their day," the company added.

WhatsApp had traded the text status for something more visual, pictures as status that lasted for 24 hours. The problem started when an average consumer couldn't find the conventional text status. Last month WhatsApp took a shot at becoming more than just an instant messaging application by launching Snapchat-like 'Status' feature. However, according to a report by The Independent, the company has faced a huge backlash by the consumers leading to a roll-back of the status feature. But the new stories-like feature will also continue alongside the text status.
