Stay connected in real time

Share daily moments through Status
Status allows you to share text, photos, video and GIF updates that disappear after 24 hours. You can choose to share status posts with all your contacts or just selected ones.

Data safety

Safety starts with understanding how developers collect and share your data. Data privacy and security practices may vary based on your use, region, and age. The developer provided this information and may update it over time.
It is a very good app, but with limited config capabilities. It needs a config panel that would allow users to store media files (large, static files) in a different location (like SD card, to use less space on the phone storage) while keeping chats / DB files (small, dynamic files) on the phone (as most of the SD cards will eventually fail due to frequent changes on these files)

Could use more features in terms of texting (similar to Telegram or other mobile conversational social media platforms, hopefully they all can also do more to cater to all people of all backgrounds/walks of life aka cater to people of all ethnicities, sexes/genders, sexual orientations, religions and cultures, special needs, etc) but the design and layout of the user interface is convenient, user friendly, and easy to navigate.

"Hello WhatsApp, I have been using your messaging app for some time now, and I was excited to try out the new AI feature. Unfortunately, despite updating my app multiple times, I have yet to receive the feature, which has left me extremely frustrated. This is compounded by the fact that my previous AI assistant, Pi, is no longer accessible to me, leaving me without an alternative.
