Alright, that’s it. This whole feature-copying nonsense has gotten way out of hand and must be stopped.
Facebook-owned messaging app, WhatsApp, is now implementing a stories feature that’s nigh on identical to the rest of them.
Starting today, the feature will begin rolling out to Android, iOS and Windows Phone users. It works exactly how you’d expect – you take a photo with the in-app camera, decorate it with poo emojis, text and senseless scribbles, then post it to the “status” tab.
Your mates can view and reply to it for the next 24 hours, after which it will disappear.
The feature has been spruiked as a fun present to users for the app’s 8th birthday. What a great fucking gift, you guys. Thank you for the exact same feature we’ve been using on three other apps for years.
Quit stealing each other’s shit and get creative again. For example – how about a feature that automatically calls the police when you receive a threatening tweet or a toaster that toasts selfies onto bread?
