The world woke up to a disastrous change in the way we communicate with our close ones. Following Snapchat and Instagram, now WhatsApp Status has joined the ‘24-hour story’ bandwagon too.
If you’ve seen the update, then it is needless to point out that it is a redundant update for a medium like WhatsApp, where communication is more personal than other forums.

Well, maybe we’ll get used to this update too, just like we got used to the Insta stories.
