WhatsApp Re-introduces its Text Status Feature

WhatsApp Re-introduces its Text Status Feature. We already informed our readers that WhatsApp is going to revive it’s previous status feature. Now WhatsApp has revealed that it will bring its About Status feature to all Android users next week. iPhone users will also get the update soon.

WhatsApp provided this statement:

“We heard from our users that people missed the ability to set a persistent text-only update in their profile. So we’ve integrated this feature into the ‘About’ section in profile settings. Now, the update will appear next to profile names anytime you view contacts, such as when creating a new chat or looking at Group info.
