WhatsApp testing Snapchat Stories-like feature 'Status'
Facebook-owned messaging platform WhatsApp is testing a new feature called 'Status', which is similar to Snapchat's Stories. WhatsApp's new feature lets users share mood-setting pictures and videos with custom elements such as emoji, with the content disappearing in 24 hours after it’s shared. The feature is currently available only to the registered public beta testers of WhatsApp.
