        Vegetaholic, 23 Aug 2017Who votes for killing these useless news about useless IM apps?So why read the story and take the time to comment on it as well? Just because you don't care about something doesn't mean no one else does. Shall we censor all news you don't like or are not interested in? If I see a title that does not interest me I simply don't read it.

          Status update is the most idiotic feature WhatsApp implemented. The need to give an option to hide this tab. It's completely useless for 90% of users, and besides that is really annoying for serious people. WhatsApp is not a Snapchat or Instagram and will never be. This app has completely different purpose and needs to offer more of enterprise oriented options rather than retards oriented ones.

            Anonymous, 23 Aug 2017Funny thing is none of my friends use this featureTrue. I see zero status update on mine. No one using it. Just after a year they introduce the story thing no one using it anymore. Now bringing back the text status. Maybe I'll update it just once a year. Already used to NOT updating status ever since story exist. Too lazy to use it. Waste my time.

                                Facebook ruined whatsapp. Nothing we can do about it. May third party create simple whatsapp with new inside security. :(
