WhatsApp launches new Status feature

WhatsApp has just launched a brand new Snapchat-like feature named WhatsApp Status, as noted in an article from Tech Crunch.

WhatsApp Status is a new tab for sharing encrypted pictures, videos and GIFs that disappear after 24 hours in a manner similar to Snapchat.

The new feature was tested by beta users back in November, and is now rolling out for iOS, Android and Windows Phone users around the world.
