People woke up to a familiar update to popular messaging app – Whatsapp on Friday as it upgraded its ‘status’ feature to enable users to share photos, GIFs or videos.

The new feature resembled Snapchat’s original Stories feature launched three years ago and Instagram’s Stories feature which was also rolled out last year.

Social media was abuzz with the new update with people calling it an ‘unnecessary feature’ to accusing the app of plagiarising in an obvious way with the hashtag #MyTakeOnNewWhatsapp.

The old method of posting a status on the app has been removed and instead you can now only see your username and phone number.

Whatsapp that was founded in 2009 by Jan Koum had its old status option could enable people to give a collective message to its contacts like – ‘Can’t talk, Whatsapp only’ or ‘Lost all my contacts’ or even 'Hey there! I am using Whatsapp,' which has now been erased completely.

Here are few of the rant tweets that express how people really feel about Whatsapp updating its ‘status.’
