WhatsApp Just Brought Back Its Very First Feature — And It Feels Straight Out of Instagram

Remember the old-school WhatsApp from way back in 2009? Before end-to-end encryption, voice notes, or those disappearing photo statuses—the app’s killer feature was literally just a tiny line of text under your name that said something like “Hey there! I am using WhatsApp” or “Busy 🛫”. That little blurb was called your About, and for a lot of us, it was the original away message. Fast-forward to November 2025, and Meta just resurrected it… But this time, it’s got serious Instagram Notes energy.
