This is how it should be. "Daily status updates" regarding what you're working on are useless. It should be a short message or email containing roadblocks or small updates to let others know you unblocked them that is sent to people on a need-to-know basis, which does not include your manager (it may include your project manager) unless they are also a developer. The whole team does not need to know what you're up to
