WhatsApp Status was launched in 2017. Despite being a clone of Snapchat Stories feature, Status has seen a drastic growth in number of users and is increasingly becoming popular amidst the WhatsApp users. Latest figures reveal that the Status feature has 450 million daily active users today. The feature has received a good response from users across the globe and is probably one of the best ways after Facebook to share your photos and texts.
But some of us may have also experienced this once or twice, that awkward moment when you are barred from one of your contact’s Status viewing while the other friend who happens to be a mutual friend of you two can see his or her Status. There’s a way to get yourself unblocked from his or Status viewing but in this article we will tell you how you too can hide your Status from particular contacts on your phone.
WhatsApp Status is Snapchat’s Stories like feature that allows you to post videos, photos or texts that disappear after 24 hours of posting .
