Instant messaging app WhatsApp is bringing back the text status feature, which had been removed in favour of a photo-and video-based Status feature in February.
Once you download the update on your phone, open WhatsApp and tap on the Settings option, head to the “About and phone number” section and set a text status—just as you used to before. You can set a text-based status, or choose from default status options such as Available, Busy and Urgently call only.
