Checking WhatsApp statuses is like checking peoples away messages on AIM.

I think a feed is still the best way to deliver updates, but they seem to quickly get corrupted for monetization and algorithmic manipulation.

I haven't updated my WhatsApp status in 8 years. I legitimately did not know that people viewed/cared about them. And I use WhatsApp daily.

What OP means with WhatsApp status is the photo/video stories that only last for 24 hours. What you're describing is now called the "About" section of your profile.
