WhatsApp Status Checker

The WhatsApp Status Viewer view a specific WhatsApp contact status as soon as it is uploaded, send a WhatsApp message about the status type(Image, Video, Text, or Audio) and the time at which it was viewed OR alternatively always check and notify you if a status is uploaded. You get notified every 30minutes, 1hour, 3hours or 6 hours depending on your choice.

NOTE: WhatsApp does not allow bots or unofficial clients on their platform, so this shouldn't be considered totally safe.
