Just when you thought social media couldn’t get more repetitive, WhatsApp introduced live status updates a couple of days ago. It’s pretty similar to Snapchat, whereby you can update your status by uploading photos and videos. The plus side is the ease of uploading gifs (I’ve been spamming my status with The Office gifs ever since I updated the app^.^).
Pakistanis aren’t too happy though. Everyone’s seen through the update and all they see is a copy of Snapchat…
Some aren’t too optimistic about the future of apps…
Is every app in the world going to turn into a snapchat story???#WhatsappStatus

Some are so angry they’re litz expressing their anger over the WhatsApp status update…by updating their statuses.
WhatsApp copied this story feature of Snapchat and Instagram. This is so shitty! ?#WhatsappStatus pic.twitter.com/3xRJRai0TJ

Say goodbye to the good times where all our automated statuses were the same.

It’s not just Snapchat WhatsApp copied. Pakistanis are a li’l on edge about the fact that they also copied Instagram.

With the attack of stories on apps, it’s only a matter of time before they’re tracking the female menstrual cycle.
My period tracking app is the only app left that hasn't introduced Snapchat style stories.

and I don’t know about you but I’m pretty scared about updating my frivolous x-rated stories in the place where my entire family tree live. So…
Pakistanis just can’t trust anything anymore.
What if the next update is screenshots getting notified ?#WhatsappStatus pic.twitter.com/zMuDepA0RG

They’ve stripped us of any form of trust we built with the app…
Even Twitter isn’t safe from the evil forces of stories.
May be Twitter should also add a 'Tweetories' option now. ?#WhatsappStatus #Whatsappnewupdate

And then we have this lone ranger, this happy li’l bunny who really likes the newly improved WhatsApp.
Why so much fuss about new WhatsApp update! I'm loving it!???#WhatsappStatus pic.twitter.com/s5fSplVUzZ
