Day by day, you are spoiling status viewing experience. First, you made the downgrade that read statues start again when I am viewing statues in continuity. Next downgrade was, even after seeing my own status, others' statues start appearing unless I press back. I relied on viewing status by tapping dps, but now you downgraded that also, and even if I am seeing the status by tapping a specific dp, next statues start appearing. This one problem is pouring cold water on all the good new features.
