NEWS:
Seemed that WhatsApp disabled the normal status feature if WhatsApp Status is enabled, but it has not been removed!
In fact, you can read normal statuses of your friends in their contact info section.
You can continue to change your status in Settings > Profile.

@WABetaInfo is the first Twitter account and Telegram channel that leaked WhatsApp Status, but many websites didn't give me credits. This is so sad.
Will they give me credits for Stickers in WhatsApp? 🤔

NOTES ABOUT STICKERS:
They will use Skype Stickers in WhatsApp (it's so strange, I know).
They will also allow users to use all Facebook Stickers (this is more normal :P).
Then, you will be able to download many other stickers pack, but there aren't so many information because the feature was so hard to enable.
Other users will be able to correctly see a received sticker even if they didn't download the relative pack.

Posts (photos, videos, broadcast text messages and GIFs) that you forward or send in WhatsApp Status will disappear after 24 hours.

You'll be able to share files in WhatsApp!
You can also share images and WhatsApp will not compress them!
This is still a hidden feature and WhatsApp Desktop is preparing an update for this feature.

Obviously this also works for Android.

You will see all shared files in the "Docs" section.

WhatsApp 2.16.15 is now available on the AppStore.

Official changelog:
• You can now send and receive animated GIFs
• For videos that are 6 seconds or shorter, you can now send them as animated GIFs. Just tap the GIF toggle after picking a video.
• Send Live Photos as animated GIFs. Just 3D Touch any live photo from Attach — Photo/Video Library and choose "Select as GIF."
