It's in the second tab, where stories are. Stories used to stay open, so you could easily see the ones you already watched. Now they disappear into a watched drawer that is by default closed. They need the space to show you channels, like the one of the owner Sugar mountain or random tiktokers.
Are you sure you're talking about WhatsApp? I don't see stories anywhere. Never saw anything like that. Maybe you're talking about Snapchat or Instagram or something else?
Either they haven't rolled this out in your country yet, or you haven't updated the app in a while.
The app is up to date. Maybe you're right and they only deployed this in some countries. How long ago did this show up for you?
I don't use it myself, I've see it on a friends' phone, so good question. Was a while ago though, a few months, maybe?
