Earlier this morning 27 January, Android users noted that WhatsApp published four images to its own account on the Status platform, which functions similarly to Instagram’s stories and comprises time-limited updates shared with contacts.

According to the official message posted on status reads;
“WhatsApp is now on Status!” “We’ll let you about new features and updates here.”“One thing that isn’t new is our commitment to your privacy.”
The company reminded users of the end-to-end encryption it offers, which means user conversations cannot be accessed by Facebook or WhatsApp.seem to be a way to opt-out of receiving WhatsApp Status updates.
