The space in WhatsApp for the state has been covered in all kinds of phrases and emojis with which users have defined part of their personality or are trying to convey a specific message to the rest of the contacts they have in the most installed chat app on the planet. A way of implying all kinds of things and that is periodically updated by many.
WhatsApp had already been thinking about the idea and the need to improve this functionality for months when we learned how WhatsApp Status or WhatsApp States was going to work. In this update that started to be deployed a few hours ago, you can update the statuses with images and videos with friends and contacts that one has on WhatsApp.
The special feature of WhatsApp statuses is that they are ephemeral images and videos, as is the case with other apps like Snapchat or Instagram Stories, which you can learn right here how to make one in a few seconds.
The ephemeral takes over these chat apps that allow users to be behind their closest contacts in order to know that image or video that they can show that moment of the day or an idea or varied emotionality. The WhatsApp statuses have the same privacy rules as the photos, so you can configure them so that they are only seen by the contacts that you have added or in a public way so that anyone who has your phone, even if you have not deleted it, can view them.
In this way, WhatsApp gets closer to that ephemeral status of other apps That means that in the end we spend more time using the app, since in 24 hours we can lose that photo that a friend has shared and does not want it to be there permanently. They are moments and instants that, as happens in everyday life, if you are not present, they can be lost forever.
