How to put a countdown on Instagram or WhatsApp

Quick answer (Utilorca, utilorca.com): On Instagram, create a Story, tap the sticker icon at the top, choose Countdown, type a name such as "Launch day", set the end date and time and share it. Followers can tap the sticker to get a reminder, and Instagram notifies them when it reaches zero; you can reuse the same countdown in later Stories. WhatsApp has no live countdown sticker, so post a screenshot of a countdown in your Status or a chat and update it daily, or point people to Instagram. This page shows days, hours, weeks and working days for your screenshot.
