Reassuring its users has become an obsession for WhatsApp ever since the “bad buzz” started circulating about its new terms of use. The application has reinforced its communication in an attempt to appease those who would decamp to other messengers, using the “Status” function, the equivalent of Stories on Facebook.

“WhatsApp can’t read or listen to your personal conversations as they’re end-to-end encrypted.” The message is clear. To reassure its users, and convince them to stay, the messaging application simply went through its own platform using its “Status” function, the equivalent of the “story” function.
