The Genius Media Nigeria reports that the instant messaging app, which is also owned by Facebook owner, Mark Zuckerberg explained that it would use the status to educate users on the latest updates and features about the app.
“Whatsapp is now on Status! We’ll let you know about new features and updates here,” the company noted in one of the statuses.
It also explained that user privacy is still intact as the company can’t listen to the conversation of users or read their chats.
“One thing that isn’t new is our commitment to privacy.” another of the status read and then the next slide added: “Whatsapp can’t read or listen to your personal conversations as they are end-to-end encrypted.”
However, many users have taken to the micro-blogging site, Twitter to express their views about the new development with many expressing feelings of having their privacy intruded by the move and others left confused by the action.
There are possibilities that this may push many users to switch to other alternatives such as Telegram and Signal.
