WhatsApp’s Status feature has more daily users than Snapchat

Over the course of the past few months, Facebook has been working hard to bring Snapchat’s main features to its suite of products — including WhatsApp — and now it looks like its efforts are finally paying off.
During its Q1 earnings call on Wednesday, the social networking giant revealed that WhatsApp’s recently-implemented 24-hour Status feature has amassed 175 million daily users, overtaking Snapchat Stories which currently has around 161 million.
What’s particularly interesting, however, is that more than half of Snapchat’s user base refrain from visiting Facebook on a daily basis, according to App Annie research shared with Bloomberg.

Talk about bad timing!

Facebook couldn’t have announced the news at a worse time. Shortly after it made the revelation, WhatsApp suffered a major service outage across the globe, lasting for a little more than two hours.
Users weren’t happy, to say the least.

  Two months after   launching for iOS , ChatGPT is available to “pre-order” for Android users who want to take   the ubiquitous chatbot  on the go. If it’s anywhere as popular as the iPhone version, expect to see some big numbers over the next few weeks. Of course any mobile user can access ChatGPT or other OpenAI tools via the web interface, but the superior experience of a dedicated app has proven extremely compelling, to put it lightly. iPhone users downloaded it half a million times in the first week, impressing everyone  until Threads came along and blew it out of the water . The ChatGPT app on Android  looks to be more or less identical to the iOS one in functionality, meaning it gets most if not all of the web-based version’s features. You should be able to sync your conversations and preferences across devices, too — so if you’re iPhone at home and Android at work, no worries. Of course it won’t be completely identical, since the two mobile operating systems differ in many way
