WhatsApp was working in these months on the Status feature for the web and desktop platforms, as reported in many tweets published on Twitter by @WABetaInfo and on the Telegram Channel.
What is new (but hidden, so disabled by default) in WhatsApp Web 0.2.4430 (new Web update available now)?

The feature was hidden, but we were able to show you how the feature worked.
Nothing is changed since we published the screenshots of the Status feature: in fact, since today, WhatsApp is rolling out the possibility to view status updates of your contacts, using web.whatsapp.com!
To be able to use the feature, you have to update your WhatsApp version on your phone, and be sure that the WhatsApp Web version is 0.2.5854 or newer.
