At least for me on android there are 4 Tabs. Community's, chats, ~~current~~ updates, calls.
Edit: I checked the translation.
I have community, chat, updates, calls. None of them have anything related to stories or feeds.
Wrong translation on my side. Check the updates tab. On more recent versions you've got the "Status", those are the stories people are talking about. Below that are the channels of influencers and other people I don't care about.
Hmm. I see status updates but they are changes in people's status, not stories, there's only ever a handful of updates, and it just shows the names of the people who updated their WhatsApp status, which happens very rarely. There's no feed there, nothing to scroll.
Below that I see Channels, a list of companies to follow, and an "explore more" button. Which I haven't touched and don't intend to. If that's where the feed is... well, I don't know what people expected, it's obviously going to be corporate marketing.
